Brexit - Mp Has Attack Of Sanity - Shock!

[Peter Pedant]

Dr Sarah Wollaston has defected from the OUT campaign saying that the claims on the NHS, to wit
Vote Leave's claim that Brexit would free up £350m a week for the NHS "simply isn't true".

[ so what do MPs routinely do in the House of Lies ? sorry this is proper thread, oh and apolz to ABers for starting ANOTHER Brexit thread ]

You mean Lady Wollaston?

[Peter Pedant]

yup Dr Wollaston - who kinda shoulda know about the NHS
she had to work there
and is now on the Health select committee

[Togo]

Aaahhhh Bless, she gets her media time and "goes away", but this goes unreported by the Biased Bull**** Company.

//Meanwhile, in a blow to the Remain campaign, Sir John Nott, Conservative defence minister during the 1982 Falklands War, has suspended his membership of the party because of David Cameron's "tirade of fear" during the EU referendum campaign//

[Dodger666]

If Dr Wollaston thinks MPs always tell the truth she's in the wrong job.

Someone at last has seen through the alarmist guff that the BREXIT lot have been spouting.

The more ludicrous their comments become, the more people are just not going to believe them....the little boy has been crying wolf for too long.

One thing that puzzles me though is this. This woman is a GP, so why is a Tory MP in the first place ?

"The NHS is safe with us"

Really ?

[-Talbot-]

I'm shocked there hasn't been more on both sides. I have wondered why this ploy wasn't thought of.

[mikey4444]

Togo....John Nott ?

I had forgotten all about him ! Wasn't he the Tory Government Minister who flounced out of a live interview with Robin Day ? And he has some kind of credibility ?

Really ?

Come on Mickey, that describes the Remain from the word go!

This woman will not understand the NHS, she is a small time GP who gave it up to be an MP, a job I suspect she will loose at the next election.

The Leave campaign has not said it will spend 350m a day on the NHS, it has said it COULD be freed up to spend on it. And if we leave so it COULD.

Any sensible person would not post that because both sides have been doing it.

Mikey only has one eye, AB's very own cyclops.

Togo, This goes unreported by the ''Biased Bull**** Company'' , I assume you mean the BBC ?
The link PP has posted IS FROM THE BBC !
It has already been on the morning BBC news both TV and Radio !

[mikey4444]

"This woman will not understand the NHS"

Really ?

So... as a Doctor, she knows nothing about the NHS !

But you are correct about her probably losing her seat in 2020 ( if she stands) She won in 2010 with a stonking great majority of over 18,000, but that majority was whittled down to less than 5000 in May last year.

Me too, I thought all doctors were former coal miners and British Leyland shop stewards.

Or African chieftains.

Togo...only in A J Cronin novels !

[mikey4444]

Above to Dougie as well !

[Old_Geezer]

Someone got to her then. (BTW you missed out the "in" in the title, it goes to start that 6th word.)

Clearly if you have more money by not paying an unrequired subscription then you have it to use anywhere else you decide.

[Old_Geezer]

Add to that the reduced number of medical tourists and the budget goes further too.

OG ..... sanity/insanity

OG an MP having an attack of insanity wouldnt be a shock.....

[ unless you mean an attack of insanity implies a previous sane period and that is the shock ]

emailers to the Beeb and Sky have not been shy of accusations of bad faith - and that her change of heart is no change of heart at all but a cynical attempt at preferment, promotion and honours

[mikey4444]

OG....Dr Wollaston has just said, live on the Today Program, that a foreigner is more likely to be treating you in the NHS, rather than ahead of you in the queue.
