Fake Nurse hey....

So Labour in Wales have produced a video of a ‘health worker’ saying that only Labour will save it from being sold to Donald Trump. It then turns out that the ‘health worker’ is in fact an actress.....numpties....

”In the advert, the woman says: 'We will increase the funding available to our health service.
'Labour is the party that created the NHS, and we will defend it against Tory attempts to sell it off for parts to Donald Trump.'
It then cuts to different people saying the words 'together' and 'standing up for Wales'.

Plaid Cymru slammed the 'fake nurse' for accusing the Conservatives of threatening the future of the NHS.

Plaid Cymru's Jonathan Edwards, who is standing for re-election in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr, said: 'I can see why Labour felt they had to use a fake nurse in their political advert as their woeful record on the NHS in Wales means they have everything to hide.
The 30-second Labour Party election clip was broadcast on the BBC, ITV and S4C on Tuesday featuring a nurse wearing a NHS-issue blue tunic

'Issues with the NHS Wales fall squarely at the door of the Labour Party who have been running it for decades.
'Plaid Cymru has a plan to properly invest in the Welsh NHS to recruit 10,000 more doctors and 5,000 more nurses. By the looks of it, Labour couldn't find one.'

hahahaha......

Labour did not produce the advert, it was created by an agency they employed, and as soon as they discovered an actor had been used Labour pulled the advert and put out a message saying that they will not be working with agency again.

Free broadband for all will be the norm in generations to come.

It's now a basic need, and should be freely available to the public. You could argue it already is in public libraries, but every household should have it free opf charge, it holds such an importance.

Interesting though how this thread has developed.

I'm old enough to remember them telling me that electricity would be so cheap it would be pointless to meter it.

Don't believe the hype.

BT is worlds better in private hands than it was when we owned it. I would argue there are successes and failures in other areas but BT is the success story supporters of that policy would point to.

Would those "private hands" be Deutche Telekom by any chance? If so what is the German government's share of that company.

So that's each of the three main parties trying to pull one over on us. They really are a bunch of knobheads.

You got to that from a point about the quangocracy ?

Also there is an awful lot there in your post that is wrong - the increase in Labour membership has actually resulted in Labour being *less* bankrolled by the unions than at almost any point in its history. The last report I saw had membership fees at more than twice the contribution from affiliated unions (members fees are even higher than donations, which also has union money in it).

This means that Labour is rather more influenced by its membership now, rather than special interests like unions, donors or whoever - so this claim that the unions are dictating policy isn’t really supported (for another example of this, look at McClusky’s efforts to stop a second referendum and prevent freedom of movement- they haven’t exactly worked despite Unite being the biggest donor).

Well of course. Any comment that is not positive towards Labour is by default wrong, is it not?
