At 13.08 WATO disgraces itself saying Gideon Alter " only wanted to cross the road"

(my paraphrase but that's the essence of it )

The little shit had an airing on Good Morning Britain too.

Some years ago my sister had her 'NHS' hip done privately, and last week her husband had this, while they had themselves been thinking of paying up -- He saw a nurse at the surgery who looked at the X-rays and asked if he wanted to go on the NHS list - 9 months + - or go to the local Spire (Bupa as ...

Morning, just ! Missed last night's on the Temporary PM and DLA/PIP because I was off to bed thinking of listening to the Week in Westminster . That didn't take long as they began with the spiel from Gideon Alter, which we now definitely know to be completely untrue . A BBC R4 news also allowed him ...

Morning AK -- seems to me they are still chasing the racist and other unhappy voters, because there are so many of them around ? Hard times make it easy for the populists .

Very much more detail here, from Gideon Falter I was treated like a criminal for being Jewish.
