Where's the benefit?

Just a question for you. If we have this world class health service that the Government keeps banging on about - on a drum leased, of course, from a private equity outfit with an ex-health minister on board, based in some agreeably sunny tax haven - why do we have record numbers on disability benefit?

Perhaps we could appoint a health Tzar to set up an initiative, aided by a suitable number of consultants, to set achievable targets and then a delivery unit to see if they are achieved, or, alternatively, move the goalposts if they aren't.

And another thing - if speed cameras are so effective as a deterrent, why does the amount they take in taxes go up each year? And yes, I know they are called fines, but it is not a particularly good disguise is it. Once the income appears in budgets it is tax.
