Schrödinger's Cuts

Another Farage Falange local authority has been sorting things out and getting things done with near-Starmerite straightforwardness and efficiency. Having previously published a timetable for the closure of five care homes, the Lancashire county cadre is now squealing that it never actually intended to close the care homes actually, and also that the care homes will receive investment, and also that no decision about the care homes has yet been made. Five day-care centres are also subject to "review," and the obvious course of action would be for the council to save money for the upkeep of one or two of the cheaper old folks' homes by closing all those facilities for over-diagnosed shirkers who ought to be out stacking shelves or joining the army. It remains to be seen whether the Farage Falange intends quite so moderate and sensible a solution as that.
