What a tremendous turnout by the public at today's demonstration to try and convince the SNP health minister Nicola Sturgeon to reverse the proposed cuts at the Vale Hospital. West Dunbartonshire Council and the group Hospital Watch should be congratulated for the excellent organisation of this key event.
The new SNP health minister can now be left in no doubt that local people will not accept anything less than the proposed cuts being reversed, the Vale being kept open and new investment being provided to return services already lost and to commission new services.
Keep the pressure on the politicians.
SAVE THE VALE!
INVEST IN PUBLIC SERVICES!
NO MORE CUTS!

"Deselected Wareing to quit Labour"
"The Party leadership (under Blair and Brown) have regarded me as a thorn in their side as I rebelled against their betrayal of the basic principles of the Labour Party."
"He added: "Anti-Labour policies, such as privatisation, tuition and top-up fees for students and the stock transfer of council houses (with the threat that no repairs would be carried out if they remained under council control) forced tenants to concede to New Labour's wishes."

Enjoy "demonstration" while you can Jim is all I can say...
"Authorities attempt to ban 8 October demonstration"
"Sign the online petition"
"The Government has decided to ban a peaceful march called by the Stop the War Coalition on 8 October. The protest has been called to demand all the troops withdrawn from Iraq immediately. The police have said all protests within one mile of Parliament are now prohibited. This is an affront to democratic rights and contradicts the Prime Minister’s commitment to liberalising protest laws. We urge the authorities to review this decision."

"Northern Rock plc given £7.75 Bn. of tax payers dosh by thrifty, prudent Scots, Brown + Darling - technically a loan but actually thrown away.
The guys who claim experience, expertise and technical skill in examining financial entrails, have determined that a close study of the Bank of England's weekly figures say that £7.75 Bn. classified under the heading 'other assets' is equivalent to (ish) the BoE's support to Northern Rock -massively up from last week's figure of £2.9 Bn."

Thanks to Bollan's Blog...the internet makes life easier on many levels. While recording info for Ancestry.com's World Project, I couldn't read the place name on the card for Mary Ann Atkins. What I could read was Vale Hospital. After looking on several maps of Gr. Brit. I finally Googled "Vale Hospital" and there you were. Aha, now I could match the scribbles to Swainsthorpe!
Then I read about Annie Cardiff and it reminds me why I do genealogy... To pay tribute to the Annie's and Mary Ann's of the world.
Thanks from Merridy in Maine, USA
