Fantastic stuff Mic. My brother reads the Telegraph and often tries to wind me up by sending me extracts from it.

Perhaps I should treat him to this wonderful analysis in return.

It’s a great way to cause family strife.

You’re on fire Mic.

The bit that annoys me most is the sick leave comment. I’m guessing that comes from some missive telling some NHS Trust staff to stay at home if they are sick, rather than try to struggle in and as a consequence make themselves sicker and risk the health of the colleagues and their patients, which is an eminently sensible recommendation.

I’m sure Alison would rather not be coughed and sneezed on by any healthcare workers she came into contact with; although on previous evidence she’d probably turn it into an awful piece of copy...

Yes. Exactly. There were so many things in that column that I just couldn’t cover them all.

Privatisation has such a fabulous record in this country. *cough* Why not the NHS too...

Another great piece of work Mic!

Pearson is a hateful individual.

Ironic how an ex-bankrupt feels qualified to dispense advice on how to best spend money within the NHS.

Your forensic dissection of the techniques used by Pearson and her ilk is fascinating though. It deserves a much wider audience.
