I can only hope that Stagecoach and GMPTE will allow us to do the same thing to a Metrolink tram when Conference comes to Manchester in 2009…

I’ve already covered the absurd reaction of Hazel Blears MP to the ludicrous Labour Government decision to close the essential maternity and neo-natal services at Hope Hospital here in Salford. However, I hadn’t until now stumbled across the in-denial article on her own website. It is entitled “Hope Hospital Retains Maternity Services”. Read it for yourself. What arrogant self-serving tosh.

Digging a little deeper, it seems Hazel has a bit of penchant for posting arrant nonsense on her website. Take the article entitled “Hazel Meets Community Activists In Worsley”. There are two big pictures of Hazel, supposedly with “community activists”. The “community activists” in question are Barbara Keeley MP, Cllr Ann-Marie Humphreys (Labour Councillor for Kersal and a Broughton resident) and Labour Party bigwig Peter Wheeler (who lives in Claremont). In other words, a far cry from what everyone else would consider a community activist to be.
Can you find any better example of arrant tosh on Hazel’s website? Please do post it in the comments…


Taxman Gordon
I’ve just spent an enjoyable few minutes playing Taxman Gordon Pacman. Light relief and a nice bit of nostalgia for children of the eighties!
