A matter of shame @NickTorfaen is that you have ignored HCV haemophiliacs. We have written to you regarding not recognising childhood losses. As per recent research provided to yourself a child with HCV will simply NOT achieve the same academic results as that of a healthy child. Sir Brian concluded “this was not an accident” the risks of f8 were known, safer products were not used. Minister to ignore a cohort so badly wronged as mono HCV haemophiliacs shows that no lessons have been learned. We ask you to do the right thing and re look at this cohort. @cabinetofficeuk@IBCA_CEO_UK@IBCA_UK@katehaemophili1@HaemoSocUK@HaemoSocUK_PI
Sadly we have to carry on this fight and we now have people waiving their right to anonymity to speak out to get justice. These people will do interviews to get their side heard including a misdiagnosed PUP who has never spoken and has evidence of consultants knowing in 1992 that they were not a haemophiliac but yet carried on treating him as one. @KayBurley@NickFerrariLBC@KieranMullanUK@Gooders2023@GraymF1@LabLab15460
30 years ago to the day, I heard Don't Look Back In Anger on the school bus.
It was the first time I'd ever loved a song on a first listen.
I can still remember that moment. I was 13.
The bus driver would put Chris Evans on the radio for us. Every morning we were driven to school with a soundtrack of absolute 90s bangers.
Even in a crowded era of brilliant music, Don't Look Back in Anger stood out as something different. I was craning my ear up to the speaker, trying to take it in over the racket of a coachload of hyperactive Nottingham teenagers. Paper aeroplanes cutting through the cigarette smoke. Snippets were finding me, but that sound was like catnip. I needed more.
The song was on my mind all day. What had I heard?! How could I heard it again?! (Buy it, obviously, but I was skint).
In the afternoon I was in the school library (because I was a geezer) and a girl was singing it to herself. 'How does she know all the words already?' I thought. I think I felt a bit jealous that she liked it even more than I did.
That was the moment I knew I was mad on Oasis for life. I really liked them until that point, but Don't Look Back in Anger was my Italia '90. That was the turning point. From then on, I was hooked.
Oasis have so many massive tunes that I love. Supersonic, Colombia, My Big Mouth... I adore all the big loud mad ones. But Don't Look Back in Anger has something else. And over 30 years it remains my favourite Oasis song.
Last year I visited the house where the video was filmed. It’s the closest thing to a pilgrimage I’ve ever done.
I, a monk, at the holy shrine of rock ‘n’ roll. Nourished on my travels by lager and crisps on my eternal quest for ‘avin it.
BIBLICAL.
There has been no formal acknowledgment that riskier products were used on this vulnerable community. All haemophiliac cohorts have not had justice. Sir Brian concluded that this “was not an accident”. Mono HCV haemophiliacs have still not had their lost education / job prospects recognised. @NickTorfaen justice is not justice if these issues are not recognised and rectified. A haemophiliac child, parent(s) ans siblings would have suffered segregation, isolation, fear, trauma, the realisation that they were used for research which is another level of trauma.
We are simply not the same as a whole blood transfusion patient infected in later life! @IBCA_CEO_UK@ibca@cabinetofficeuk@Keir_Starmer@HaemoSocUK@KieranMullanUK@HumanRightsCtte
PS - The fact that the media was informed of the NEC decision before I was tells you everything you need to know about the way the Labour Party is being run these days.
You would think that over 30 years of service would count for something but sadly not. 🤷🏻♂️
Go to that gig. listen to that song, dust off that record player, learn to play that guitar.
Music helps us through. Life can be overwhelming at times. Music can help, I promise you that

Sir Kier Starmer our PM whose background is Human Rights based, critises those who break human rights aka @elonmusk@Nigel_Farage but is happy for haemophiliac children who were used for research to receive £10K Shame on you @10DowningStreet@NickTorfaen disgusting! @Gooders2023
