Bolsin4UKHonours. Hamish Mildew is hiding under his duvet

 Hamish Meldrum's response when called to support a whistleblower


My colleagues and I never thought in a million years that Bolsin 4 UK Honours would have gathered so much support in 7 days. I quite liked Professor Rod Griffith's offering, Helen Bright's candid statement and finally Elizabeth Miller's fantastic letter. These can be accessed here. 

Anyhow, we all have what it takes to mount an honours application but we will wait for the next few weeks to see who comes out of the woodwork.

What is interesting to note is this, the rest of the establishment who crow away about how supportive they are to whistleblowers have remained tight lipped. The best one is Hamish Meldew. Mildew as a name is catching on because he is rather like Mildew, sticks around in all the right places hoping that the glory will rub off on him. Then most people at the BMA are rather like this. They love the art of reflected glory. No doubt to them, we are running this low class campaign that the high class boffins cannot bare to touch :).

Mildew spent months crowing away about the BMA's support of whistleblowers. Now the BMA cannot bring themselves to support the Bolsin4UKHonours campaign. Of course, this shows us one thing, the BMA have never ever been supportive of whistleblowers. What is said in the public forum is not quite what is done in private. There is a discrepancy and Hamish's actions show this.

It is rare that I get to correct Rita, but the reason that Hamish Mildew sounds such a familiar name is because he is the evil twin of the much loved Victor Meldrew
