Really Ed. I mean really!?!?!?

Votes for women, the civil rights movement, the battle with apartheid and people rather upset with some public spending cuts, Ed Miliband tried to suggest that these things were on a par this afternoon.
It is almost comic to watch him deliver a speech where he tries to paint the deficit deniers love-in with some of the greatest and most significant freedom movements of the twentieth century. I'm not sure whether this is driven by a huge ego or a tiny sense of proportion, perhaps both.

No one relishes making cuts or redundancies, despite the caricature created by the Labour party and unions, but recent levels of public spending are unsustainable. No one underestimates the worry felt by people in the public sector, they fear for their jobs and the services they value. Miliband undermines and makes a mockery of these concerns by equating them to the world's great freedom struggles.

Hmmm, easy to spot the intended odd one out there. But I don't think one of them deliberately set out to deceive voters on an important local issue and is now pretending that it never happened. You have been asked again and again to explain how you're going to give us back the hospital facilities that you took away after your campaign accusing the last government of doing just that but you don't seem to want to engage.
The only way to this it would seem is a constant public expression of displeasure.
Anon,
Please can you give me details of where or when I deceived voters, where I have pretended something didn't happen and how exactly I took hospital facilities away.
Once you've provided these I'll be happy to discuss.
Are you serious? Do you not read your own blog? Go back over the comments since November time and answer the questions that have been asked since then.
I am serious.
Rather than address your vague accusations I'd like you to put up the details.
What did I say I would do that I didn't do? What have I pretended happened that didn't happen? And I'd especially like you to detail how I took away services at QMH.
Go back, look at all questions and give us answers, they're in your blog. You know what has already been asked, do your job and give us the answers from the extraordinarily clear questions that have been asked by many people, many times over. Stop stealing a living from us. If you can't read them, get someone to do it for you.
Anon,
I've read the comments, there are a number of loose accusations of misleading people and breaking promises without any reference to when I mislead people or what promises I broke.
Give me specifics and I'll be happy to answer them.
Never have I seen a politician so desperate to avoid an issue.
What did I say I would do that I didn't do? What have I pretended happened that didn't happen? And I'd especially like you to detail how I took away services at QMH.
OK, I'll do your job for you:
Why did you 'campaign' against the Labour government's cuts at Queen Mary's before the election?
Why did you not only accept the subsequent Conservative cuts at Queen Mary's but make up a feeble excuse about this occurring because of the Trust 'not being able to find staff?'
Why were the cuts 'Labour's cuts' pre-election yet, according to you, the Trust's fault after the election?
Why did you and Boris encourage people to show 'relentless displays of public displeasure' to stop the cuts pre-election, yet when the Conservatives followed up with the cuts you ridiculed those who asked you about them as 'obsessive'.
Why did you take great pains to say that hundreds of people joined the protest against Labour cuts pre-election, yet you are still claiming that only one person is badgering you about the A&E facility now? What happened to those hundreds of people and who are those writing comments on your blog?
Why did you turn off the anonymous facility on your blog when the public showed relentless displeasure at the fact that you would not answer questions about Queen Mary's? The result of this was that you had no comments at all - apart from a Mr or Mrs 'Excalibur' who said that it was a marvellous policy!
Did you use local people, passionate about Queen Mary's, in order to gain votes?
I'm apolitical and have voted for Labour and Conservative councillors whom I believe have the best intertests of people at heart and are not consumed by political dogma. Where I see politicians from any side misleading people I will relentlessly ask questions until it can be established that they have behaved correctly or otherwise.
Being disingenuous by claiming they don't understand what is being asked, ignoring questions, claiming that someone who takes up an issue that the politician conveniently forgets and labelling them as an obsessive, changing blog settings to avoid questions and claiming that only one person is interested in a local issue are factors to take into consideration.
My interest has been increased since I have had to use A&E facilities at QE. It's a mess and local politicians have washed their hands of this now that there's not an election coming up.
I'd like common-sense, non-political answers to the previous questions but above all I'd like an answer to this after you've made me jump through hoops:
What exactly have you done, week by week, to get the A&E facility re-opened now that there is a Conservative regime? You were relentless on this when it involved an attack on Labour.
Picked out little nuggets such as "tiny sense of proportion", "huge ego", "deficit deniers".
Ahh its so easy to put down the competition. Allow me to address the balance...
I could mention that fateful day on the 18th Feb 2009 where David Cameron had a chauffeur follow him on his commute to the HofC on his bicycle to show off his green credentials. See http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/02/19/david-cameron-bicycle-stunt-was-a-big-mistake-115875-21135241/
William Hague sharing a hotel room with a young male constituent (nothing wrong with that in these enlightened times) until you realise that in his desperate attempt not to appear homosexual he then parades his wifes womb through the media. Lets be frank if yo9u are on a business trip the very least you would insist on is a private room? See http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1318131/TORY-CONFERENCE-William-Hagues-hotel-style-haunt-him.html
Whilst on the subject of Billy Hague lets not forget his incompetence at failing to organise the correct paperwork for the IRC (international rescue corps) and they spent a frustrating day and half in the Tokyo arrivals lounge awaiting paperwork from the embassy. As the Foreign Minister, it is his responsibility as the buck stops there. See

And of course a bit closer to home lets not forget the honorable mayor Boris who is still failing to re-instate QMH A&E facilities. See a previous post by another contributor regarding Boris lies.
The list goes on and on. My point you are all as bad as each other. You should concentrate on what you should be doing not what the opposition are not......
