It takes a brave woman to say what needs saying

GRANDPA'S WOMAN OF THE WEEK

Jenni Russell, what a heroine

It is a woman who has stepped up to the plate and put the whole case relating  to the catastrophic bungle which the politicians are fighting over.  Step down Yannis Gourtsoyannis (whose name should be gobstopolous), step down Jeremy Hunt, shut up Dave and listen to what Jenni god bless her Russell has to say in today's Times.  It is the very first time this august newspaper has had anything sensible to say and I hope that all the other journalists who have had a go at prodding the fire will acknowledge the sound and cool reasoning she has brought to bear.  It takes a practical person to know when the cupboard is bare and she has done just that.  Her final two sentences  "It needs shrewd analysis and intelligent nurturing not further impossible demands.  Step  back Jeremy before the NHS is carelessly pulled apart." totally get our vote. Careful analysis of what she suggests could reveal a way forward to accomplish a world first 7 day a week NHS which after all is what everyone really wants.

Perhaps the most important thing to remember is that the NHS is already providing exceptional value for money and this need not be lost if her recommendation gains the traction it deserves.  

GRANNIES ARE NOW FEELING THAT THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO GETS IT
