There Must Be Some Explanation

Those among the proles who are too feckless to sign up for private healthcare have been given another little hint: ambulances are taking longer to reach patients after 999 calls, so that victims of strokes, heart attacks and stabbings are having to wait up to two extra minutes before their efficiency-savioured medical attention can be administered. A Labour spokesbeing blamed the cuts and the resulting overwork in accident and emergency departments, but the real explanation is likely to be subtler: something to do with the ambulance crews being overpaid, like the long-term sick; or over-pensioned, like the evil public sector; or over-numerous, like the nurses; or over-qualified, like the teachers; or under-privatised, like the justice system; or buried under red tape, like the wealth creators; or health-and-safetied to death, like the Daily Mail; or too preoccupied with daytime television, like the unemployed; or simply uninterested in public health, like the health ministry. I wonder which one it might be.
