I teach older adults, some of whom are patients at Christie's. One student who has just started a course of radiotherapy at Christie was very alarmed and said to me "they are talking about closing the hospital!". People may not believe adverts for teeth whitener or politicians burbling on about how they have 'always found knitting fascinating' to the local knitting circle. But this was a cruel and outrageously cynical ploy. John Leech MP did this in a very calculated way because he knew it would be effective, he knew how much people love the Christie's and how cancer scars the hell of people.
