00:00trustee of a number of charities including one that's raised over 40,000 pounds for
00:05conference in Ukraine with relief efforts there another one back on your question about art
00:11gets musical instruments for children in deprived areas and I've been a local councillor for 17
00:16years so my understanding and every role that I've had pretty much has required absolute and
00:21complete honesty and integrity and I have always acted as such um I once uh whilst um working in
00:31the NHS uh I can't go into a lot of detail but um I saw something that would make your
00:37your you'd be very surprised from from from the level of from what you know of the NHS
00:42it's a really something really horrendous and I had a boss who didn't want me to make a fuss
00:48and I have to say I was very young in my career at the time I should be 21 22 um
00:55I have to say that I had a lot of personal self-searching about what I was going to do at
00:59that young age it started my career but I stood up what we now call as a whistleblower
01:04and that meant that people's lives I believe were saved because of that and then I lost my
01:09job because the NHS didn't have or the health service at the point didn't have the protections
01:13it should have had so thank you very much
01:19so I'm sorry can I just come back I was trying to make a point about where I had had to stand up
01:24for for people who were in more in close to the peril in terms of their lives I think it's an
01:32absolute disgrace that any person in any member of any party would do the sort of things that
01:37we're hearing about in the news it's utterly abhorrent it's utterly disgusting I condemn
01:41it entirely and I want to make sure that anybody who has done that from any party
01:46never has any position either paid or elected in public life ever again
