IT saddened and disgusted me to read in The Bolton News on April 24 of the plight of the cancer sufferer Mr Booth who has twice been denied the chance of the drug Cetuximab.

It really does not surprise me at all, because under this Government's reign we British have been made second-class citizens.

Also, to them, life is cheap. Soldiers killed and billions sent on wars overseas, millions wasted on asylum and immigration. The list is endless.

So, to deny any man or woman the chance of a longer life for the sake of £20,000 is truly pathetic. Shame on the people concerned.
