Crumbs, guys. How many of you have fallen into the Daily Mail way of thinking about people on benefits? Yes, he should have been more understanding of the delay. But yes, we should perhaps be a bit more understanding of his situation. As a former debt counsellor, I think it's very unlikely that he happened to have enough money around to pay for a cab to the hospital, nor would he have found it easy to get access to such money. Plus, as far as I can gather from Nee Naw, he wouldn't actually have had any idea when an ambulance was going to turn up - could be five minutes, could be five hours. The pain must have been pretty bad to warrant morphine... I'd get stressed out with a wailing kid on my hands under those circumstances, especially if the kid was mine.
