Drug trail Hooohaa

Those in England may have heard of the following story:

news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4808836.stm

Where two men are critically ill after taking part in the first phase of a new drug trial.

What angered me was Pratrica Hewitt’s frankly idiotic statement at the end:

“It is a shocking event and obviously our thoughts are with those young people and with their families.”

A shocking event? Describing it as shocking infers that there is blame to be assigned, how can someone like that run a helath service!!!

You meant implies, not infers, I believe… (sorry, that’s the editor in me)

I’m not impressed by Hewitt, she may as well be just another Oxford Law graduate, and I believe that we may already have enough of that particular brand of person in Parliament…
