I'm curious, why have the BBC not credited the photo to the childs mother but to a registered press photographer?https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leeds-50713236https://thebppa.com/author/benlackpicsgmail-com/
Do you often take your local friendly press photographer with you when you are in an ambulance with your child?

My mates neighbours cousin was at an A&E in Bristol. One of the Nurses has a mate who had a sister who knew a bloke who worked in a shop in Leeds in 1974. He said it was all b*llocks.

Where's the tube going that's going up out of shot?addedhttps://www.bbc.com/news/election-2019-50717606
So, the mother admits she put him on the floor, press photographer called, and you cant admit the overt politicising of this? I guess not because dear comrades wouldn't manipulate for gain at all would they. I get it happened, i dont like the inference the staff put him there when the mother states he was on a chair. I am proud of where I work and dont like it smeared (by either side) for political gain

No HA, the mother says that in the YP article not you mate
It is not 100% genuine. The child was on a drip in a chair which, though not ideal, is a perfectly acceptable clinical situation. The childs mother has out him on the floor. A drip needs gravity in general to work not placed on the floor. Also and more importantly infection control would not allow placing of a patient on the floor. In the uncropped photo chair and trolley can be seen
For me I base my choice on two things..One the quality of the prospective candidates who are standing in my local area.I have said before that my Mp has done a awful lot in my constituency for local causes from lobbying and getting local flood defences improved,working hard to bring Siemens into the area,and lots of other things including personally helping me with my sons education funding.He not a national politician looking for a big job but someone who works for the community.. The prospective Labour Mp doesn't even live in the constituency and has based his campaign,hustings and literature solely on the national picture of Austerity and not once mentioned local issues probably because he doesn't know anything about them.. The second thing I consider is the national/world picture and the manifestos.I don't believe Labour can come close to raising the money from business that they need to implement these policy's even forgetting the broadband,dental,housing promises that are simply not deliverable.Borrowing would go through the roof,interest rates will rise as will unemployment.Labour foreign policy and their ability to do business with the likes of the USA which whether you like it or not is absolutely crucial is another massive concern of mine..I think Labours front bench as it is now would be disastrous for this country,and that's before we even mention the wishy washy position on brexit which in reality is probably supporting remain in anything other than name.Personally I dont look at fake websites,spin rooms or the like.Now I appreciate you don't agree with those beliefs but that's my view and why on this occasion I couldn't put a cross in Labours box
On that subject, I assume you saw the consummate lying by the Tories to deflect from the story about NHS underfunding? Piping that lie through Kuenssberg and Peston that a Labour activist punched a Tory worker at the hospital?You're a smart lad BFYP. I cannot believe that people like you are going to reward this behaviour. It is beyond scary that a political party can behave like this and not be sanctioned by the voters. You KNOW where this leads.
And the day after a huge Tory win, another record has been broken. For the first time ever, every single A&E unit in the country has missed its waiting time targets. Nice one Tories, nice one...
