NHS SPENT MILLIONS SILENCING SIX DOCTORS. EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS RIGHT
Private Eye @PrivateEyeNews called them the Super Sextet. Six doctors and executives who saw dangerous things happening in NHS hospitals, raised the alarm, and were systematically destroyed for it. Not one of them was wrong. Every single concern turned out to be valid.
Dr Kim Holt @drkimholt warned Great Ormond Street Hospital that the child protection clinic in Haringey was dangerously understaffed and missing patient records. Management put her on special leave for four years. Baby Peter Connelly died. The trust spent £286,000 on consultants to investigate itself and found no management failings. Then it offered Holt £120,000 to sign a super-gag and disappear. She refused.
Steve Bolsin, cardiac anaesthetist at Bristol Royal Infirmary, spent six years documenting that children were dying at an entirely avoidable rate during heart surgery. He raised it internally. He raised it with the Department of Health. He was told to keep his head down. Between 30 and 35 children died unnecessarily. Bolsin was described at a European surgeons conference as the most hated anaesthetist in Europe. He left the UK in 1995 and never came back.
Ash Pawade turned around a catastrophic children's heart surgery unit in Bristol. When a baby died after an overworked perfusionist made a drug error caused by NHS staffing cuts, Pawade backed his colleague and called management to account. He was ordered to apologise for impugning the trust's legal team. He left the NHS without any recognition.
Dr Raj Mattu, a world-renowned cardiologist in Coventry, watched a patient die because five beds had been crammed into a ward designed for four, leaving three beds with no access to oxygen or suction. He reported it. A senior manager responded by saying he wanted Mattu off the road completely. Mattu was suspended for six years, then sacked. The trust spent over £14 million of public money trying to discredit him. He was eventually awarded £1.22 million. The CEO who oversaw the campaign against him was given a CBE.
Gary Walker was brought in to turn around United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust after seven CEOs in six years. He balanced the books and hit the targets. When a winter surge led clinicians to warn that patient lives were at risk, Walker wrote to his Strategic Health Authority. The SHA's chief executive emailed back: you need to meet targets whatever the demand. Walker was sacked in 2010 for gross misconduct. The gross misconduct was using the f-word nine times in three meetings over two years, not directed at anyone in particular.
Dr Peter Wilmshurst, consultant cardiologist at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, spent 30 years reporting research fraud, confronting pharmaceutical companies, and taking on anyone who put profit above patient safety. He was sued for libel three times by a US medical device company after accurately reporting that their product did not work. The legal battle nearly cost him his home.
The same playbook runs across all of them: suspend the whistleblower, bury them in vexatious complaints, pay management consultants to clear management, offer a gag clause, and wait for the person to break.
@NHS spent millions silencing these six people. Not one manager faced meaningful consequences for any of it.

Hillsborough Law Now update -
Following a meeting with some of our directors on 6th march, the Attorney General and Ministers pledged to contact @NowHillsborough by 20th March, with a resolution to the amendment relating to Intelligence Services.
That deadline was not met, and we are now being told that the government needs just a few more days.
This week, we also wrote to the Home Secretary to ask her to meet with us, given that she is the cabinet minister responsible for MI5!
However, she has refused to meet us on the basis that the Attorney General has the issue in hand.
But he does not!
This is what we are up against.
The motto appears to be
"Tell them what they want to hear, and it will keep them quiet a little bit longer."
Well, we won't stay silent.
Silence did not expose the cover-up of the Hillsborough Disaster.
Hillsborough Survivors were not vindicated because they stayed silent.
Silence didn't expose the cover up of Labrats, Infected blood, Post Office Scandal, the Birmingham pub Bombings, the Manchester Arena terror attack, the Covid Pandemic, the Primdos medication, or the cover up of the death of little Zane Gbangbola.
Silence did not expose the lies told by South Yorkshire Police and the contempt they had for the members of Orgreave.
Silence didn't expose the rape and sexual exploitation of the young girls who were victims to Grooming Gangs.
And even though Nottingham Police Force tried their hardest to keep the press silent, it was the voices of others that exposed their disgraceful failures.
There have been times when our voices are all that we had.
Let's not forget that this Bill was pledged by 15th April 2025, and we are now approaching 15th April 2026!
The Public Accountability Bill aims to give a legal duty of candour to ALL public servants and officials. That has absolutely nothing to do with National Security, and let us be very clear, we would never call for a law that compromised the safety of the people of this country.
Quite the contrary.
We want to protect the people of our country, and we want the Hillsborough Law that was pledged in this Labour Partys Manifesto, because THEIR Silence is DEAFENING and we will not be treated like this any more.

@charlhennessy1 Letter sent to my MP Nadia Whittome citing personal reasons for wanting truth, justice and accountability without exemptions and without loopholes.
An important Hillsborough Law Now update.
On Monday, the report stage of the Public Accountability Bill will go ahead.
Sadly, despite meeting with the families of the Manchester Arena terrorist attack, the prime minister and his government have been unable to come to a resolve with the intelligence services.
We would like to apologise to the victims of @ChinookJustice , @atomiclabrats@orgreavejustice all victims of the manchester arena terrorist attack and others' who have suffered at the cost of the injustice because of Intelligence Services.
This has caused you so much stress and that was never our intention.
You have been through enough.
Our stance remains clear - a Hillsborough Law in its entireity.
How many different ways can we say it?
The only way we can now achieve that is if all MPs vote in favour of Ian Byrne's amendment.
Our amendment.
MPs - Vote against the Government's Bill Proposal.
Show the intelligence services that we will not bow down to cover ups.
We do not pose as a threat to National Security.
There is no higher power than our Prime Minister.
We will not be frightened by the notion that we are risking national security.
As Hillsborough family members, we've never backed down before and we don't intend on backing down now.
Private meetings and fancy words don't frighten us.
You, the public, can make a difference.
This is your opportunity to stand with us in solidarity and show the government that we will not back down to the intelligence services. Ask your mp to vote in favour of Ian Byrnes amendment on Monday and bloody well do something about the corruption and cover ups within OUR COUNTRY.

A HILLSBOROUGH LAW IN ITS ENTIRETY.
Charlotte, Margaret, Sue and Steve.
@NowHillsborough@cfpjustice
A Public Accountability Bill is not just about a legal duty of candour.
It's about levelling the "legal playing field."
Currently, when things go wrong and someone dies as a direct consequence of a state related death, the organisation gets access to the best legal representation, with unlimited ££. Whilst the bereaved are left fundraising, fighting to access legal aid or with no legal representation at all.
Imagine losing your loved one, unexpectedly, through no fault of their own and then being denied the right to truly find out what happened to them whilst those responsible destroy evidence, omit information, and hide behind their legal teams who seek to enable their cover up!
It has got to stop.

@horton_official As yes the old "we've secured a £104bn investment" lie.
£96 billion of that had already been agreed NINE MONTHS before the election.
How inconvenient the truth.
It’s Christmas. Goodwill is in the air. Well not quite. Tis the season of ‘Feed the Scousers.’ Only fans of Merseyside clubs get this treatment. Want to understand the context? Read this https://t.co/Y0uvHtUg8y
Fucking finally.
I hope the Tories and Reform traitors are shitting themselves. We still need a proper https://t.co/l2fzSKn92R investigation. The Tories “did not want to know” if Russia interfered in Brexit. Probably because they all profited from it.

A solicitor, Andrew Milne has been bullying leaseholders across Sheffield into paying him extraordinary sums, with no legal basis.
Why hasn't the SRA stopped him? Because he's conducted an extraordinary campaign against the SRA. 180 complaints. Two judicial reviews.
