Only a few hundred redundancies

In case you didn't hear this , Mr. Blair insisted at his news conference today( why call it anything to do with News is beyond me) that there would only be a few hundred redundancies in the NHS.
Quite apart from asking why there are going to be ANY such redundancies, it behoves us all to ask why - if this is true - every constituency in the land appears to be up in arms with what is happening to its health services. I'm not convinced the Tories are right with their 20,000 to go, but, on the other hand, we were assured a couple of years ago that only 13,000 Poles, Czechs etc would land here in the two years after these countries became members of the EU.
Ah, now I have it. As we now know some 600,000 have come ( even the government admits to " more than 450,000" ), that is a ratio of Government Statement to Truth of about 1/46.
20,000 NHS scrapheapers at the same ratio would be 434.78, so on THIS basis, Blair was telling the Truth. Well, not quite, but I'm sure you get my drift.
