peter h said "So don't knock John Leech for indulging in a bit of exaggeration for political effect.". This sounds harmless enough except that it actually involved scaring people with cancer. Is this John Leech's offical position spoken by one of his mouthpieces or just another cynical smokescreen thrown up by Lib Dems to hide the shame of the way they climbed into the gutter in the GE campaign. Every single one of them that appeared on the Save Christie Hospital leaflet photo should and will be held to account for their disgraceful "exaggerations" not just "two wage" Leech. And yes I am a Labour Party supporter and proud of it. Its the Labour Government that is putting unprecendented levels of funding into Cancer services in Manchester and the Lib dems who are using cancer patients as a means to achive god knows what political ends as they never actually say what they strand for, and when they do it's usually unworkable, unfundable or barmy.
