I find it disturbing that our PM is so far removed from reality that he is oblivious to what is really happening in everyday life. It's all well and good setting targets for institutions like the NHS and schools, but when the meeting of those targets actually interferes with the care and education that the majority of people receive then they are not worth the paper they are printed on. As usual in an attempt to fudge the figures and make the government look good people end up suffering.
