Guardian: "The number of deaths related to MRSA, the so-called hospital superbug, increased by almost a quarter, according to the latest figures. MRSA is now six times more likely to be a factor in the deaths of people in NHS hospitals than anywhere else, the Office for National Statistics said yesterday."
And was anyone sacked for this, or reprimanded or just held responsible? No chance! Was Tony Blair suspended for war crimes?
Nowadays some people can get away with murder, but others are suspended for an 'insensitive' jibe. Ken Livingstone, the mayor of London was suspended for an insensitive remark.
BBC: "The head of the panel which suspended London's mayor has admitted the system under which it operates is flawed. Critics of the system have said an unelected panel should not be able to remove an elected representative."
You see, words are considered to be more dangerous than criminal negligence that makes real victims or illegal violence.
But I hope these words hit home:
TimesOnline: "Tony Blair was accused last night by the Archbishop of York of helping the US to run 'Idi Amin-style' tactics in the war on terror.
The Prime Minister also risked the wrath of civil liberties campaigners - including his own wife - by accusing Amnesty International and a cross-party committee of MPs of looking at Britain's treatment of terrorist suspects 'the wrong way round'.
Cherie Booth, QC, his wife and a leading human rights barrister, is due to give a speech at an event partly organised by Human Rights Watch next week entitled Torture: Do the rules still matter?"
