Should Ken Clarke be stripped of peerage over blood infection cover up
Jump to: Newest in thread
“Ken Clarke has questions to answer over infected blood scandal, says minister, as campaigners call for him to lose peerage”
“Clarke, who was a health minister and health secretary in the 1980s, was one of the former ministers criticised most explicitly in yesterday’s report. Although Sir Brian Langstaff made it clear that the scandal went on for decades, and involved politicians and officials from multiple administrations, Clarke is a particular bête noir for campaigners because of the unsympathetic tone he struck when he gave evidence”
“As PA Media reports, in 1983, an Aids leaflet was published alongside a press release in which Lord Clarke said: “It has been suggested that Aids may be transmitted in blood or blood products. There is no conclusive proof that this is so.” That line was repeated over several years.”
30,000 infected and 3,000 dead
Obfuscated records and medical records destroyed in a corrupt cover up.

Along with:
The many staff members and ministers of the then Thatcher Government who ignored the recommendations of the Council of Europe.
All the many administrations since that didn't take it seriously enough.
The then Staff of Alder Hey Children's Hospital.
Arthur Bloom - now dead.
The NHS - for hiding the truth, ongoing.
The then Staff of Treloar School.
Maybe it should be criminal 'the' criminal case that protects all of us from all of these despicable crimes against innocent people that just keep happening.

Well that's conclusive then, he failed to show the appropriate amount of sympathy. Let's strip him of his honours, pillory his name, and send him to an early grave. |

I heard him speak during the inquiry and he was rather unpleasant, given his role, his knowledge and the people that have been tragically effected.

And every member of a UK government since 1970? Utterly shameful. I'm often castigated for labelling them all as liars but the proof of the pudding is in the eating |

Absolutely. Yes. I would have guessed that you would have worked out that I was talking about those members of administrations that had anything to do with ignoring or diverting attention away from the truth - but hey ho! |
