Quiz David Cameron about the NHS
You’re probably still slap bang in the middle of your Christmas celebrations (or out braving the sales). However, if you’re starting to think about next year’s general election, you might be interested to hear that David Cameron will be heading to Reading in early January for a “town hall” style meeting.
It’s all part of Cameron Direct, a cheesily-named initiative which has seen the Conservative leader hold a series of meetings up and down the country. Here’s what Reading West Conservatives have to say on the matter:
“Mr Cameron will be coming to Reading to listen to people’s views and answer their questions on healthcare and the future of the NHS. The event will be broadcast live on the internet and will include questions from the online community.”
Hmmm. “Online community”. Wonder if that means us.
There’s limited information about the event at the moment, but it’s happening on 8 January in the “early evening” at a Reading venue. We vote for the Hobgoblin or Nag’s Head.
In all seriousness, it’s not often you’ll get the chance to quiz a prominent politician about, well, anything, so it should be worth getting along to this, no matter what your political leanings. To be honest, we’re sceptical about learning much that’s new, but we’ll try to keep an open mind and get along there if we can.
For full information and to reserve a spot at the meeting, check the Reading West Conservatives site. If you do go, take note that the meeting is about the NHS. So no sneaky questions about expenses. Or biscuits.
