Ever been in A&E with your child? You don't take them there if you don't think it's serious. Until diagnosed, it could be anything, and I'd imagine all good parents would be fearing the worse - and a massive relief that it turns out to be something minor.

And he was sent on the advice of his GP

I'm not saying he shouldn't have been assessed. He was, and thankfully it wasn't anything serious. But Macdonnell was still banging on about pneumonia this morning to get political capital.

Goldie I think we all know that there was something dodgy about this. Yes we agree the NHS is in a mess but it was politically motivated.
 
Agree, Ellers. Voters have moved on. Exit poll tomorrow at 10.00pm will be interesting
I am more than confident of a Bojo majority.
Interesting listening to LBC today Goldie. Many Scots are turning away from SNP because they don't want Indy2.
Also a fella from the Asian community said many of his community are life long Labour voters but he was shocked at the amount that will be voting for Boris. Many simply don't trust Corbyn.

He was sent to A&E by his GP with suspected pneumonia for ****'s sake!

I won't bother asking Ellers because he's the most stupidly one-eyed person I've ever encountered, but are you prepared to admit that you were taken in by the Tory lie machine in the aftermath?

tut tut Mr 'it aint over yet' <laugh>
I gave a decent enough response. I said the NHS is in need of improvement and I have not denied the boy was sick... however it was a political stunt by the mother. Its all last ditch attempt to try and win something they won't win.
See you on Friday Mr expert. :emoticon-0148-yes:

Did the Tory lie machine put out bogus social media messages from 'nurses' and make up a story about one of their staff being punched?

But the Scots won't be voting ****servative.....they want to stay in the EU, so will turn to Scottish Labour or Lib Dem, who are both against Indy Ref2

Did she make a complaint to the hospital?
Did she report these problems?
we all know those answers
Why does she need to take a photo and contact the media when her child is ill?
Why are there rumours of her taking the child off a trolly and place on the floor?
Why isn't she more worried about her sick son than contacting the press?

it was a political stunt that won't change people minds. Just like that Fathers message, like that reporter that tried to hijack Boris touring. Just like that baby on the Chair and just like Barniers leaked tapes that funnily have come out today.
It's all a desperate last chance saloon.... which won't change peoples minds.
see you Friday.

Not according to a few callers on the radio today. Remember more people in Scotland voted Brexit than the SNationalistP

Mate, I don't want Indy2, but I'm also against leaving the EU under either Boris' bodge deal or no-deal, as are a lot of my friends (although many of them are also very pro-independance - including my wife). As loath as I am to say, if I was at home I'd probably vote tactically and put my cross in Lab (we've been SNP for last four years), even though I've been voting Green for last few elections.

I caught some of the debate on TV yesterday, and Hamza Yousuff got it right - England and Wales both voted for Brexit, and are getting it, NI voted against Brexit and are getting a doecial deal that keeps them closely aligned to the EU, but Scotland, who overwhelmngly voted to Remain just get shafted. No-deal or BawJaws Brexit will see the end of the Union....

She got an apology from the hospital for ****'s sake! If she'd taken the child off a trolley, they would have been aware wouldn't they? The reason there are rumours that she did so is that the party you support is despicable enough to circulate them in a desperate attempt to deflect from Johnson's shameful reaction.

Does your one-eye make you walk round in circles?

Hope you're right, Ellers. The thought of Corbyn, Macdonnell and Abbott running the country supported by wee angry Nicky is too much to stomach.

No one comes out of this well, except the boy and I wish him a speedy recovery. For Boris, the camera toting Mum and a desperate Corbyn, it was not their finest hour

I agree SM that Brexit is going to be a pain and I also agree that it will cause problems but I don't see the break up of the union. Really interesting radio show last month on this very question and all the commentators said Boris or Brexit won't break up the union.
The SNP are opportunists. They are not respecting the 2014 ref.

Tory big win all day mate. Corbyn will be heading back to Russia.
If i was worried I wouldn't be so vocal. They were in Uxbridge today trying to get the young students to vote and apparently 50% have gone AWOL. <laugh> So much for the young and the future.

How can you continue to refuse to acknowledge the lies put out by the Tory propaganda machine (readily repeated by the BBC and the rest of the right wing media)?
