Wow, you really are something else. You had to chuck in a little "inefficiencies" dig at central government (carefully deflecting the flak away from Dave towards the infernal bureaucratic machine) whilst totally sidestepping the patently skewed morality of IDS's and ATOS's handiwork this parliament.
