Remember Bevan’s Run? If you do, it’s no thanks to the mainstream media, who mostly ignored it, as I blogged at the time. In brief: in January 2012 a doctor ran from the statue of Aneurin Bevan in Cardiff all the way to the Prime Minister’s constituency office in Witney, via the Ministry of Health in London, to protest against NHS privatisation.
How far would you go to save the NHS? One man is running all the way from Cardiff to London. Dr Clive Peedell, a consultant in the NHS, started his journey at the Aneurin Bevan statue on Queen Street, Cardiff, and since then has run (in stages, obviously) all the way to Witney.
