Anyone with the slightest bit of common sense could work out that many nurses will be “unimpressed” with Tory MP’s Peter Bottomley and Tim Laughton posing with models dressed up as so called “saucy nurses” in a calendar.
Apart from the fact that the Tories are up to their normal tricks of trying to scare everyone that their local hospital is going to close down (if in power they would privatise it and charge you for treatment – but that is another issue).

Steve Brazier, regional head of health for UNISON in the South East, is quoted as saying he received a letter from a number of nurses who were disgusted and outraged because of the way their profession was portrayed.
He said: "It is a dinosaur stereotype of nurses as sexual objects which is deplorable and inappropriate and unacceptable.
"It demeans the whole profession."
If you are a female nurse working night shifts on a Friday and Saturday you have enough on your plate from leering drunks and fondle merchants, without being told “wink, wink, nudge, nudge” such offensive comments and behaviour are just “harmless fun” and “what’s the fuss?”.
