Don't shout, check

LET'S get the truth out in the open about one of the reasons why we have to cut the likes of adult care and children, schools and families budgets so drastically and, which is also a major reason why the NHS is literally starved of proper funding.

 

The reasons is quite simple - we have a bunch of so-called 'highly educated self-important career seekers' who find it far more important to out-shout, out-boo, and laugh out-loud at what they call, in Westminster, their opposition.

In fact, this immature primary school behaviour is so important to them that somehow they all missed what was going on in front of their eyes with the Government's major new NHS computer system which  started in 2002 but was so poorly managed it was a complete failure and had to be abandoned.

Unfortunately, for the likes of you and I, this computer system programmes was so expensive that, incredibly, 11 years later we are still paying the bill, which is now expected to top £12 billion.  That's enough money to build dozens of new hospitals, never mind finding some more beds for Treliske or saving our elderly and vulnerable children's budgets.

How can three major political parties let this happen in front of their own eyes?  Maybe, instead of the across the hall shouting, someone somewhere should have done from across the hall checking.
