Jeremy Hunt acted illegally and, misbehaved badly, using his authority to endeavour to cut facilities at a London Hospital in Lewisham.
If Jeremy Hunt had achieved this, it would have had serious consequences for the future of the NHS hospitals.
The residents of Lewisham fought in opposition to Jeremy Hunt and, were victorious in that battle when a High Court judge ordered that cuts at Lewisham Hospital that were endorsed by Mr Hunt earlier this year should’ve never have been set forward in the first place.
There were rounds of applause in court as Mr Justice Siber pronounced that the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt had violated the terms of the National Health Services Act 2006.
It’s an act of parliament that lays out the formation of the National Health Service in England and, it doesn’t matter who’s in government after that time, that law remains until it’s amended.
Consequently it has to continue to be the same, except in a case where a government or high court alters that enactment.
Anyway, we are far from secure of anything because someone will eventually come along and, amend that law when they feel like it, or when it’s no longer of use to them.
The residents of Lewisham may have won their battle for the time being and, Lewisham Hospital is protected for a while, but in due course some bright spark will come along and try to modify that ruling because laws were meant to be broken.
It’s in human nature to break the rules because they were made by man himself.

My vision on life is pretty broad, therefore I like to address specific subjects that intrigue me. Therefore I really appreciate the world of politics, though I have no actual views on who I will vote for, that I will not tell you, so please do not ask!
I am like an observation station when it comes to writing, and I simply take the news and make it my own. I have no expectations, I simply love to write, and I know this seems really odd, but I don't get paid for it, I really like what I do and since I am never under any pressure, I constantly find that I write much better, rather than being blanketed under masses of paperwork and articles that I am on a deadline to complete.
The chances are, that whilst all other journalists are out there, ripping their hair out, attempting to get their articles completed, I'm simply rambling along at my convenience creating my perfect piece.
I guess it must look pretty unpleasant to some of you that I work for nothing, perhaps even brutal. Perhaps I have an obvious disregard for authority, I have no idea, but I would sooner be working for myself, than under somebody else, excuse the pun!
Small I maybe, but substantial I will become, eventually.
My desk is the most chaotic mess, though surprisingly I know where everything is, and I think that I would be quite unsuited for a desk job.
My views on matters vary and I am extremely open-minded to the stuff that I write about, but what I write about is the truth and getting it out there, because the people must be acquainted. Though I am quite entertained by what goes on in the world.
My spotlight is mostly to do with politics, though I do write other material as well, but it's essentially politics that I am involved in, and I tend to concentrate my attention on that, however, information is essential. If you have information the possibilities are endless because you are only limited by your own imagination...
