Right - or wrong? 5:35pm on 20 May 2008 Come on 'harrowingdunn' it is practically impossible to be unbiased when it comes to one's political stance, beliefs or committments. Especially, for reporters for are drawn to this arena for their career. Go and re-read Nick Robinson's blog in England, and you tell me if he is not a 'true blue' through and through...

The question Betan raises is a legitimate one: Do the Conservatives believe, or not, that the most vulnerable in our country should get a basic, human need, such as healthcare? It does seem from the photo that they did? Have they changed their minds? Fine if they have, just be honest and articulate why they have?

I agree with you point that Labour took a 'hit' from the recent local authority elections. However, this was covered at some length by Betsan.

Next, if I was guessing, I think she is more likely to be a 'Plaid Girlie' than a 'Labour Lass' ha ha.

Lastly, you failed to share your own views with us: Should we, or should we not? I am open to the possibility that I could be wrong. But it seems like a (very) basic human need to be and Edwina is spot on!!
The right thing to do 2:05pm on 20 May 2008 Thank heavens for living in Wales!! Good on you Edwina! Healthcare is fundamental human need, and it is great to see a Minister with an explicit set of ethical standards and values. I cannot imagine what it must feel like to have to flee from terror or a war-torn nation. But to then get to a 'civilised' country and than not be able to get access to a basic need, such as healthcare, would only stack-up my problems and lead to genuine dispair!!

I mean we are not talking about a large expense in the total round of public spending, so what's all the fuss about? Only good things can come from treating people well, or as you would like to be treated yourself.

So thanks Edwina for having the 'balls' to make a distinctive Welsh policy that should make us all proud to live in Wales. Mr Bevan would have stood shoulder to shoulder with you. And so do I!
