DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted February 17, 2011 Also, long-time Parliament Square protestor Brian Haw treated for an unspecified "tumour". Brian Haw has lung cancer and is currently receiving treatment abroad. There's a nice, quirky article here about how he has spurned the offer of traditional NHS chemotherapy, preferring to seek treatment from a crackpot Italian doctor who believes that cancer is actually a fungus which can be cured by... baking powder . The doctor in question, Tullio Simoncini, has been disqualified from practicing medicine. Haw's outlook doesn't look too good really: He had been told he had lung cancer and that it was 'operable'. But the term 'operable', it turned out, meant to remove the lung and then they changed their mind because they said the other lung was not strong enough to cope alone.

Spade_Cooley 9,538 Posted March 27, 2011 So last year I flagged up that beardy thorn-in-the-side of successive governments Brian Haw has a big ol' tumour. Not really hearing much else about his condition since then I decided to give him a bye but your current DDP leader has thrown him straight into his starting XX. Only just today discovering that our man has his own blog where you see him walk out of a hospital looking like fucking shit and a poem about his being turfed out of Parliament Square recently which I think hints that he's not long for this world? The majority of his blog is just general Trot "JEWS DID 9/11" shit but if you can be bothered to peel through it there might be a form guide there. Anyway, he's in the news enough to warrant his own thread, so here it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted June 2, 2011 Brian Haw's peace camp celebrates it's tenth birthday this week. Sadly, the man himself isn't there, nor able to give the press any comment on this momentus milestone. His friend and fellow protester Babs Tucker has given a confusing account of his current predicament: Now Mr Haw, the protester and thorn in the side of the establishment whose peace camp today celebrates its 10th anniversary, cannot speak at all. In September he flew to Germany for treatment for lung cancer. According to his number two Babs Tucker, he is now unconscious and in intensive care. Ms Tucker has spent the past five years living in one of the tents on Parliament Square, which faces Westminster Palace. She has recently returned from visiting Mr Haw in Germany, where she says he is receiving a combination of traditional and alternative methods that, she says, "aren't available in the UK". "I promise you he's coming back," she added. "He's been through so much, but I think he's turned the corner now." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,538 Posted June 19, 2011 Just an insane performance on so many levels. And what makes it all the more impressive is all of his picks were pretty mainstream as well, I think the only one of his picks who wasn't discussed here was Danny Fiszman, and anyone who's read a sports section of a newspaper over the past year would have known he had cancer. So it's basically an exercise in bravery and trusting gut instinct rather than rooting around the nether regions of the internet to find that the 19th duke of whateverthefuck has a tumour in his pinky finger. Well done sir. I mean, he could still Devon Loch.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
