That is the most pathetic attempt at a protest I have ever seen…
14 people in total, and most of them drawing pay to be there…
Listen to the experts, no more dawdling while money continues to be poured down the drain and get the changes made.

No need to make any cuts to front line services just get rid of all the trusts.

I think you’ll find it was posed to get photos in time for tonight’s paper – the words “The demonstration was expected to be held outside the Park Inn in Telford town centre where members of NHS Telford and Wrekin were scheduled to meet at 4pm.” and “This article posted on September 22, 2009 at 14:00″ are a bit of a clue!
I’m sure there will be more than 14 people who are not paid to be there by 4pm.

Rob,
if the protest starts at 4 and the photos were taken sometime before 2 then I am even more irritated by these people being there all afternoon INSTEAD OF DOING THE JOBS THEY ARE PAID TO DO! Sack em all!

I wonder why this meeting was scheduled for 4pm when many members of the public are still at work?

Anyone would think the Shropshire Star was a Tory rag. No wonder no one buys local papers. What about reporting the news in an objective and unbiased way?

In what way was the reporting biased – so far the Star has allowed MPs, councillors, members of the public of various parties (and none) and the NHS trusts to have their say – that makes it a “Tory rag”?
Before you ask I’m a former member of the Labour Party who parted company when it began its dash to the right.
