As I said before: Claiming that the christie hospital campaign is not relevant anymore as we have other things in mind, will not do.
The significance about the Christie Campaign is that it means that John Leech & co had no evidence to support their claim. It was a scare tactic to win votes. In other words it was a lie. How many votes he won as a result is another matter.
The significance of the christie hospital lie is that it shows form. It shows willingness and readiness to lie to the electorate and the people in a high profile campaign that played on their fears of hospital closure after the loss of Withington Hospital.
As I have said repeatedly, I stayed nutral on the subject and asked for evidence to support the Leech claim. But to my surprise, he has not responded. This proved to me that he has no evidence.
Therefore, if in a few months time there is real danger of a hospital closure, will anyone take him seriously?
On another website, I have demonstrated with factual evidence how John Leech and other Lib Dem Councilors were untruthful to internal party investigations by telling lies about me. This led to the Liberal Democrat hierarchy, led by Chris Renard, the Chief Executive, not to take my complaint of racism seriously and John Leech was installed as the candidate.
So John Leech has form in being untruthful and telling lies to serve his interest.
Is this compatible with the standards of elected people in public life?
Do the people of manchester withington want someone like that for their MP?
I think people deserve to know the truth so that they can make up their own mind.
