For the most I've been fairly supportive of the Labour government here in the UK since their landslide election win in 1997. However, the core policy of 'Choice' they keep impressing upon us is simply ludicrous.
For instance, they say...
You're a parent. You should have the choice to send your child to any regional school.
You're a patient. You should have the choice to go to any regional hospital.
Choice is all fair and well. If you have the money, and the means. Two massive flaws in the plan.
Did we ask for the choice? Don't we really just want good local services? After pumping billions into both sectors, why mess up all the good work by carpet-bombing the whole thing with unnecessary administration and bureaucracy?
