Not sure if Alan was part of this 'ambush', but I find it very hard to swallow that he accuses us of moaning about Christies from in front of a computer screen whent that is what he and Thomas Graham (I still can't fathom why an ex patrol leader has so little taste) and the Labour party are just moaning about Christies. It doesn't seem to matter that 60 doctors and the head surgeon (all from Christies), the BBC, the MEN, and the Manchester Metro all say that Christies was under threat, it only matters what Labour says. On a side note, do you think that the BBC would still have the liscense fee if what it said about Iraq and Christies was a lie? of course it wouldn't as it wasn't.
