I am absolutely bloody furious, hopping mad with those mealy-mouthed pen pushers at Health Commission Wales and their frankly appalling atttitude towards Samantha Cousins, the Wrexham mum who is battling cancer but who has been denied the chance of a potentially life-saving bone marrow transplant becuase of their stupid funding guidelines.
Samantha came to us with her story because she hopes that we can somehow intervene to put things right and get her the chance to have the operation without having to take the drastic course of action of moving to England.
I really don't want to let Samantha down, so we are going after the HCW with all guns blazing in tomorrow's edition. Politicians are queueing up to sign up to our campaign - and I hope you will to. It's OUR health service, not the bureaucrats', and if the NHS can treat people properly in England then it can treat them properly in Wales too.
It helps when you get the people at the very top involved. I was really pleased a few minutes ago to see MP Chris Ruane, who has been singing the praises of the Daily Post at Westminster, raise the issue of the coroners' report into the Rhyl cycling tragedy at Prime Minister's Questions.
The excellent news is that Gordon Brown, who praised the dignity of the families of the four cyclists who lost their lives in the accident in January last year, will personally examine the coroner's findings with his ministerial colleagues. Hopefully that will cause a few sleepless nights for the local authorities responsible for road gritting, the Crown Prosecution Service and North Wales Police.
I am proud that the Daily Post has done its bit in keeping these important issues in the public domain. Reporter Roland Hughes has done a particularly good job in this respect.
However I am a bit less proud of today's page nine. About the only good reason for featuring the BNP is to expose and belittle their small-minded bigotry and xenophobia. So why the hell have we put their logo in with details of their website?
Sorry for that folks, it won't happen again.
