Questions over Tory plan to reduce deaths by cutting doctors
Reducing police numbers does not seem to have reduced crime. While this was predictable to most, it turns out the Tories expected otherwise.
Which has now thrown some of their other plans into doubt…
Idiocy is competence
The Tories had planned the following:
- Increase the number of fires being extinguished by firing fire fighters.
- Decrease the number of people kicking the can by shit-canning doctors.
- Lay waste to heaps of rubbish by dumping refuse collectors.
- Grow the number of children getting a decent education by shrinking the number of teachers.
- Build a country with fewer builders but more buildings by engineering a situation in which engineering contracts were given to Carillion.
Who would a’ thunk it
Off The Perch caught up with the UK’s leading expert on obviousness. We asked her if gutting the number of people tasked with performing a function ever led to said function being performed better.
“Obviously not,” she told us. “What’s less obvious is why you had to ask an expert.”
The government has hit back, however, with a spokesperson announcing that:
How were we supposed to know that gutting public services like an eel would lead to a hot, slippery mess?

Obviously there’s no joy in the Tories being proven wrong though.
Not when what you were right about was the absolute fucking state of this.
And this.
And this.

We know everyone is suffering under the Tories - but the Canary is a vital weapon in our fight back, and we need your support
The Canary Workers’ Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we’re all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.
The Canary doesn’t have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian’s. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers’ support.
So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.
