(not satire – it’s the Tories!)
All credit to her, Tory MP Sarah Wollaston has decided to put public health before any chance of her own advancement in her party by publicly criticising the recent decision by David Cameron to drop plans for plain packaging for cigarettes.
This decision has been linked to Cameron’s appointment of Australian PR ‘guru’ Lynton Crosby as the Tories’ top election strategist – a man whose PR firm is paid by top tobacco companies to lobby governments against policies like plain packaging.
Yesterday Wollaston tweeted a picture of a toad with this message (now deleted):
Who is Textor?
Lynton Crosby’s PR firm is called Crosby Textor and Crosby’s Australian business partner is called Mark Textor – someone like Crosby who is also known to have close links to tobacco companies.
So not a very veiled suggestion by Wollaston that Crosby and his big tobacco lobbyist firm should be unceremoniously ‘frog marched’ out of a job.
I like her style but why delete the tweet I wonder? Worried she might end up being persecuted for her disloyalty by Cameron’s Eton mafia like fellow disloyal Tory Nadine Dorries was?

Have a shufty at Sarah Wollaston’s website. I did, and had to hunt high and low for any reference to her political party. Can it be that she’s ashamed of them?

What a flimsy issue to make a stand against her own party on, what about the benefit cuts or a mansion tax on toad of toad hall?

She’s a doctor so it’s her area of expertise and probably her main interest. Improving public health is hardly a flimsy issue.

It is more a case of mad medics hampering peoples freedom of choice in what they do or don’t want to do with their own lives, these medical professionals are becoming tyrants.

If Sarah wollaston is a doctor, then perhaps she should be concerned about those being forced by her government into committing suicide because of benefit cuts.

Exactly. Guy Fawkes. She did nothing but take the Party line when I wrote to her about everything when the welfare reform bill was going through. She kept comflating ESA and DLA and she believe people on ESA should be ‘made to work’. Shame on her.

She ignored all my pleas regarding that. She knows damn well what’s going on but she trotted out all the crap and stereotypes about having seen people in her surgery who were ‘welfare dependant’. She’s no longer a GP by the way. She is MP for Totnes which is at the forefront of the Transition Town movement. Totnes people embrace change and alternative ways of doing things but unfortunately she is MP for our area because of all the Tory outlying areas in the South Hams.

The medics who are opposing the work capability tests are probably miffed because their authority/diagnoses is being undermined by some other public body – self interest more than public interest.
