Minister role for Foster

“Moe, I'm happy to report that the NHS is far from "destroyed". I saw my consultant at the Royal United Hospital just last week. He was fine, all the nurses seemed fine, the radiographer seemed fine, I was seen quickly, the whole place was clean and not showing any signs of being "destroyed" at all. I'm quite relieved about this, because in March I had the fifth major operation on my ankle in the last eight years. My ankle is "destroyed" but I have to say there is no blame to attach to the conservative party for this. I have had, and continue to have, the best possible care from the NHS for this ongoing matter and, trust me, I wouldn't tolerate any political interference in the NHS that caused it to be in any way "destroyed".

So, why not stop the scaremongering? People deal with the NHS every day and can see clearly for themselves what the truth of the matter is. And no matter how often Labour Party activists lie about the situation nobody is really fooled at all.”

“Play by the rules, work hard - get screwed. Campaign with a liberal agenda then betray your electorate by voting to destroy their health service - get promoted.

Sometimes I seriously wish I was a religious person, just so I could believe that justice would be served in the next world.”

“I don't think you can blame the Chronic for re-printing the story as this always happens on a Thursday as the previous week's news is regurgitated. At least it makes the Chronic look like it has a 'news room' rather than one desk, a coffee machine and The Daily Mail Online. Uncle Don has always been a liability. I doubt for one moment that he reads the Chronicle. I very much doubt that he remembers where Bath is. I think a time as Eric Pickles 'gopher' might be quite fun for him. I am continually impressed with the reasoning and thoughtfulness of VV and although I have never shared her particular brand of politics, I think she'd do a grand job as our MP - go on, we'd all have a whip-round for the deposit!”

“From the other article. I'd like Don to see it.

""What we've lost as communities is immeasurable due to Don Foster and his spineless ilk in the Liberal Democrat Party of Tory loyalists.

I hope his pay rise and promotion sits easily on his traitorous shoulders and the forthcoming ermine causes an allergy of inhuman proportions. Furthermore I hope the treatment he seeks from Lansley's privatised NHS is second rate and makes the itching worse."”

“John Gotti was known as the 'Teflon Don' because the FBI could never make anything stick. Baths 'Teflon Don' Foster just doesn't stick to anything...Tuition fees, VAT increase, the NHS...etc etc....he's voted in favour of it or not challenged it by abstaining. He, and his Lib Dem compatriots aren't challenging, and are therefore part of the biggest, unprecedented ideological attacks on the NHS.
Tory Party lapdog....nothing more...don't expect to see much of his face in the very near future, it'll be obscured disappearing up Eric Pickles' backside....
I think that about covers it for me....”

“Making a new link on this, still won't make us change our minds and mean we will give this fairytale a different opinion. Nice try Chronicle, but it won't work. He has still caused Bath damage and hope everyone realises this in the next election, even though he wont be on the list, at long last.”

“Funny how the Chronic has conveniently posted a 'new' article, losing the previous comments on Dodgy Don!

Lamail: Think you're probably right, he's doing enough to toady-up to his lords & masters to get he peerage, but how does that fit with his party's view of an elected 2nd House? Ah, he'll not worry about those little details where his self-promotion is concerned. Just a thought: I wonder what his coat of arms will be? Something with two-faces & a handy dagger for his constituents backs, I'm sure!”

“Lord Foster?”
