Default Droughting Thomas

You know I heard BBC news posing the question the other day of How are we
going to adapt to a drier world . ****s. The so called AGW drought is a
total nonsense. Only recently it's been commented on this NG that the
Environment agency and UKMO were exageratting the so called drought that was
confined to a narrow band of the SE. Well surely this recent wet spell will
redress the phoney drought conditions. A friend omine has a boat moored at
Reading on the thames; he tells me that the river is very high at the
moment.

Never the less Patricia Hewitt and her lyinig cronies will tell us that the
NHS has just come through the driest period ever in earths history.
Personally I some how drought it.

Oh have a look at my recent attempts to get her to confirm her "coldest
winter in 40 years " statement

"Thank you for your further email.

Whilst I appreciate that you may wish a definitive answer on this matter, as
I have explained previously, if Ms Hewitt did make a mistaken comment in an
interview regarding the weather then I am afraid that it is not a matter I
will pursue further with her office. Interviews around the time were given
to launch the NHS Winter Report 2005-2006 which praises the performance of
NHS organisations and their staff during the more challenging winter months
and should be regarded in this context. You can read the report online using
the link below.

I am sorry that I am unable to help you further on this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Clare Noblett

Hello Clare. I see plentyof political water has gone under the bridge since
our last encounter. Your boss has been booed by the RCN, Clarke's gone,
Prescott demoted and very bad local elections however I'm not prepared to
let this rest.

Waiting for a truthful reply from Mrs Hewitt seems out of the question. The
reason being - as I now have the transcript of the said Radio Five
interview- the Secretary for Health did say "the coldest winter for forty
years". Now this is a lie and unforgivable more so considering how the
Ministry of health has been increasingly encroaching into the business of
the Minsistry of Defence (UKMO), with ridiculous local health forecasting
shemes designed to distract from the disaster that the NHS is rapidly
becoming. So all Hewitt had to do was ask those willing civil servants over
at UKMO how this last winter rated and I can assure you it was not the
coldest for 40 years, 30 years, 20 years in fact ten years is pushing it. I
put it that Hewitt is conciously not telling the truth as way of NHS bad
news deflection.

This Smoke& Mirrors media manipulation is a disgrace..Thanks
Lawrence Jenkins

Dear Mr Jenkins,

Thank you for your patience. I have consulted with my colleagues in the
Press Office who tell me that the Media Monitoring Unit do not have a record
of an interview with Patricia Hewitt on Radio Five Live at the time
specified, and therefore we do not have a transcript. However, I am sure
that you will appreciate that the Secretary of State has a very pressing
schedule at the moment and so I am afraid it is not appropriate for me to
pursue this any further with her private office.

I am sorry that you will be disappointed with this reply.

Yours sincerely,


Clare Noblett
Department of Health"




There you have it liars in the extreme.
