How can the Tories be proud of their leader? *Title edited by GNHQ*

you are justifying it ...

Why are the facilities not available? Have you asked yourself that? There are reasons (and NO it is not the immigrants ... just in case you were wondering)...

The thought of immigrants had not crossed my mind. How dare you make that supposition?

Apparently the woman who supposedly said the boy on the floor incident was staged has claimed that her Facebook account has been hacked and she knew nothing about it.

This seems to have been followed up by someone on twitter who has looked at her FB page. Oddly enough, she is 'Friends' with Matt Hancock and her son's FB page is full of far right, white supremacy stuff (you see, it's quite easy to find people on FB)

P.S If I, or anyone else, find the same story, using exactly the same words & screenshots but with different account names I'll hold up my hands and apologise for spreading fake news..

I'm not justifying the lack of beds. That definitely needs working on and at this hospital there is another children's hospital in the pipeline.

Have you actually read my posts? Or are you just trotting out your usual?

The dirty tricks department of the Tory party is phenominally well funded and knows no bounds.

Does it matter where the story originated? It happened. It could have been dealt with better by the staff. And yes, I do know how busy and overworked they are.

Wouldn't it have been dirty tricks of the Labour Party, thinking to discredit the previous government. Why would the tories shoot themselves in the foot?

In that picture in Leeds Live, the boy has definitely been told to look sorry for himself.

No one can do miracles when the facilities aren't available, ...

You certainly are making excuses for this last 9/10 years of Conservative cock-ups by trying to suggest that this happening in the fifth largest economy in the world is acceptable. Why? The child was there. People, including the Tories, have apologised. Why has it happened? Because Brexit Tories cannot manage anything they are not personally making money out of.

They don't care about children, the poor, the dispossessed or anyone they cannot make money out of and in order to do that they will lie, lie and lie again and treat people abysmally.

Don't get ill if you live in Bolton.

Be careful about getting ill anywhere in the Tory-ruled NHS, which is so depleted of funds and resources that you might not get the treatment you need and deserve when you need it.

Ch4 replace him with an ice sculpture and he threatens their status.
@afneil
challenges him to appear, and he proposes removing the BBC’s license funding. Now he grabs a reporter’s phone: whenever this man is asked questions by the media, his response is to try to shut it down.

When the facilities aren't available could be put more honestly.
Eg when hospitals have been so starved of cash by a self-serving government.
When they cannot justify their actions they label this report as fake news and retreat once again into their nether world of lies and deception.
Utterly incomprehensible that any decent person can condone this behaviour by voting tory.

So was it labour who gave the go ahead to the new Children's Unit coming soon?

Is Boris labelling it fake news? I haven't heard that.

Without quoting that precise term (my shorthand) that is exactly what they've been doing - claiming it's a left-wing publicity stunt and a put-up job.

As for the new unit and all the 40 promised hospitals, do you have any reason at all to believe them?

mcem there isn’t the choice, there are so many people who do not want Corbyn as PM that any alternative is attractive.
In any future election, if the LP can get back to being more centre left ( moderate) then they will no doubt win by a landslide, like Tony Blair did.

Hasn't the 40 new hospital stuff been fact checked and found to be incorrect? Along with all the new nurses etc. Actually it's quite funny that the Tories tried to make the NHS the main issue, claiming it as their own and I think it's backfired a bit.

So was it labour who gave the go ahead to the new Children's Unit coming soon?

So in your world Gonegirl the future possibility of a Children's Unit in 2025 wipes out nine years of cutting the NHS back to the bone, Leopards do not change their spots. That is what a Tory government does; it is in their DNA.

It could have been dealt with better by the staff.

So now Tory cutting to the bone is the fault of the remaining under pressure, under resourced staff.

How long will you be blind to what the Tories have done to the country, the poor, the sick and the old?

Back with your rubbish statements and no reference to show it is any anything other than fake Lemongrove. I think many on here have got the measure of the game you play, straight from the "Dirty Tory Handbook". It's say whatever makes your opponent look bad whether it's true or not and never refer to the last nine years of Tory chaos. You do it so well, with never a reference to be seen and many a lie repeated but not proved.

GG2 her to whom you refer is a typical example of those stick to a philosophy and never budge. Inflexible, totally loyal to their political masters, serf-like.

I can see the problem with Corbyn and why some people don’t like his brand of socialism. I’m certainly not a Len McCluskey fan BUT I have been trained to think logically, I feel for those less fortunate than myself and I see the infrastructure of out NHS, education system, and other public services crumbling to the point of no return.

Add to that mix the character of the two leaders and there is no choice.

Choosing a side to vote for isn’t as lemon seems to think a monogamous one, married for life to The One. It is more like transport...if you can’t get a train, plane or bus exactly to your destination then you take what gets you nearest and take it from there.

I agree with your view of those who are prepared to repeat back the mantra of their "chosen one" Yehbutnobut. In truth, I accept that there are some who have not been trained to think logically and will be totally loyal whatever their political masters say or do. That's okay with me. Foolish, but okay.

I think it has been obvious in this campaign that the public is not as tribal as they once were but, where people still are, they must have seen the evidence that the Tories are fighting a dirty campaign; that lies has become their first port of call. Voting for them knowing that is each person's personal call. Repeating and repeating the lies, which have been shown to be lies is not acceptable in my book. I am really hoping there is a law brought in which holds politicians to the same standard of truth and stops them misleading the public, as applies to all other advertisers.

Indeed GG3 though that is a bit like hoping that the rich would be forced to pay their taxes, as the average man and woman must, rather than squirrelling them away in tax havens.
