    Some bloke on that twitter called harry smiths knocking on deaths door.

    The blokes son instead of giving the poor sod a bit of peace & dignity as he prepares to go meet his maker is ' live twittering' the poor sods slow demise interjected with political commentry.

    Thats macabre at best...

    Then just when think the bar cannot go any lower.. you look at the swarms of replys lapping it up.

    **** me.

    ...the rise of social media bullying, hate crime, paedophiles, terrorism, ignorance and the demise of good old face to face conversation.

    Two faced, double standards tw@t that I am as I type this out on my iPad whilst taking a break from online Xmas shopping that is contributing to the death of our High Streets!!

    If I knew where the plug was, I would switch off the internet here and now.

    Bring back the 1990's!!!

    That 'poor sod' (who was born in Barnsley incidentally) has asked his son to keep people updated and enjoys tweeting himself. The political commentary is because Harry believes passionately in the NHS and has donated the latter years of his life to addressing inequality. He has recently said at the age of 95 'I can assure you, I am not ready to die because I have too much work to do'.

    The only thing I can see wrong with the internet and this story is your insulting post towards Harry and his son to be honest. Quite how you think your post is better than any of the replies on Twitter with your 'some bloke... called', 'knocking on deaths door', repetition of 'poor sod' saying he is going to 'meet his maker' and saying the replies are 'lapping it up' about a dying 95 year old man who has fought (literally during the 2nd World War) for people's lives to be better, I don't know. It's up to him and his son how they want to discuss and share updates about his health.

    Spot on, Had Harry been a darling of the Tory’s or the right, this is unlikely to have been posted.

    Dammit, I thought I was going to open this thread and find out why I’m paying for BT infinity and can’t get a fast enough connection to view pictures...

    When I get it back, I’ll try and find who this Harry chap is...

    Dammit, thought this was going to be a post about it giving a platform to ill-informed alt-right theories packaged up as concern for the working man

    Harry Smith - gave one of the best speeches I’ve ever heard at a party political conference.

    HOWEVER - other than that speech, he’s a fooking pain in the ar@e !!!
    Politically he’s still living in the 1930s.
    He spouts fooking ridiculous far left politics.

    Dammit, I thought this was going to be a post by a right-wing nutjob who wouldn't know common sense if it bit them up the arse. Oh wait.

    To be fair to the OP, there are some people who other people haven't heard of. It is possible.

    Well at least it's an improvement on the 1860 Tory ideology of the 21st Century..................

    It's not far left that is the problem it's the perception spouted (and believed/swallowed by the masses) from the mouths of the MSM - Jeune Nudger get a grip....

    To the OP, read Harry's Last Stand,by Harry Leslie Smith or any of his books and you'll understand why his son is posting updates and why we leftie snowflake socialists hold this 95 y.o. man in high regard. He was born in Barnsey into abject poverty and his early life formed his politics and over the last few years he has fought and campaigned to save the NHS from failing due to the poicies of the Tories. Keep fighting Harry.

    When you die I'll be performing fellatio on a sex puppet that is made out of Nigel Farage's excrement.

    Harry is a hero in not only in my eyes but those of thousands of caring people who have ours and the NHSs future at heart .. it disappoints me that ANYONE could have anything but praise for this lovely caring human being.. then again if everybody was like Harry we wouldn’t have wars and poverty...so that’s never going to happen.. keep fighting Harry and keep us informed on the old soldiers battle ..

    A pain? There's nothing wrong with standing up for the NHS.... I'd take his far left politics than what we have now with foodbanks and rising poverty.

    You ******* idiot.

    That pain in the arse is fighting for the NHS on an almost daily basis whilst being 95 years old, whilst you spend your life complaining about a football club.

    He's worth 1 million Young Nudgers.
