A cool £1.6 billion

Jeremy Who?'

Jeremy 'Rhyming Slang Hunt, is axeman-in-chief in the tory anti-NHS bootboy programme. His administration is overseeing the continuing reorganisation and reform of the NHS.

This is politics, and therefore no language has its natural meaning (and therefore how on earth does it qualify as an academic subject capable, worthy of being studied, rather than a discredited game played by...well...profoundly weird people?).

So:

For:

Reorganisation and reform

Read:

Wrecking ball demolition

And:

Systematic attack

And:

The cynical use of mate's private firms to extract vast sums of public money while providing an inferior service

The cost, in redundancies alone (and this is nothing to the human cost Rhyming Slang and his oppos have inflicted) is £1,600,000,000.00. Even to the trough-swillers and expense-fiddlers (and anyone who thinks expenses are no longer being...er...adjusted, or manipulated, or whatever the nice word for fiddled is, and anyone who thinks that loopholes get closed by the people exploiting those loopholes the most is easily taken in) that's a significant sum of money.

About 4,000 lucky managers, most at the higher ends of the overly complicated payscales, have actually been made redundant (their jobs no longer existing), received the payment, and have then been re-employed. Apparently those jobs having risen from the ashes of the wrecking ball reforms.

The total number let go is less than 40,000, so that means that over 10% have got payouts and their jobs back. That does not represent sound high-level strategic management by those claiming huge salaries, and inserting 'strategic' into every bullshit bingo proclamation from on high.

Apart from anything else, getting down to the nitty-gritty of political things (the tory re-election plans are based on Ed Miliband not taking a good photo) Jeremy Hunt is one of the most smug-looking, punchable people in history, and would benefit from receiving serial blows to the head, Bottom style, from a frying pan-weilding maniac.

“Why did you keep hitting him with the frying pan?”

“For fun.”
