Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Labour party had government minister in health at time of the first nurses' strike (the one called off at last minute). Brendan Howlin was quite prepared to see Nurses paid badly and neglected. I personally find it disgusting that Labour dare turn up opportunisticly to that protest. Scum!
Patients Together has, unbeknownst to some of the sincere patients families involved, a Labour Party front. Proof of this is not just the photo hungry Labour politicians in the above photo's ( and their ubiquitous and eccentric former comrade now FG cllr. Bill Tormey) but the banning of all 'political' leaflets (SP, SF, ISN) from the second march organised by PA in 2004 and the verbal, and in two cases physical, assault on left wing activists who were distributing leaflets about the health service after that march. All these leaflet distributers had complied with requests from the organisers not to do so during the march but were told that they were free to do so after the march. I am not referring to the first march when the SWP tried to flood the march with placards, which was obviously opportunistic. So giving out leaflets after a march is 'political' and but having their photo taken with a bevy of Labour TDs is not? This is a cynical exercise in 'photo opportunism' by the Labour Party.
BTW did anyone ask the Labour pols if they could tell them about Barry Desmonds savage health service cutbacks in the 1980s?
Methinks Cardman is mixing Tormey up with Sean Kenny.
