You can be sure if the results were different, the Unionist media would report ‘Child Abuse Capital of Europe‘ or similar.

Note – this is an AI report so far more trustworthy than anything you’ll get from BBC Scotland, STV, the Herald……………..

The COVID-19 pandemic caused lasting disruptions, including backlogs, staffing shortages, increased demand, … Continue reading No A&E system in the world is reported as hitting targets, post pandemic yet Scotland’s media are addicted to it

Why? Who is to blame for ‘Third World’ hospitals in Wales? Labour has been in power from the first days of devolution in 1997, for nearly 30 years. Long enough?
