50,000 more nurses? 31,000 is the answer.

50,000 more nurses?

How many of those will actually be new?   31,000 is the answer.       #nomoremisinformation

This is a fairly simple one and i'm not even going to get into whether they can achieve 31,000 more nurses, fund it, train them etc although I did see something on a nurses site which said they wouldn't be full nurses as they take 3 years to train, but another time for that.

So this is just about maths and misinformation of which this election and indeed the referendum saw levels of lying, fake news, misinformation, vilification on a scale never seen before and its a scary direction we are heading in. Democracy is voting on facts not misinformation, Dictators use lies, and misinformation.

Anyway I give you two Tories and a BloJo (Not a bad name for a group that :-))

The maths are simple stop trying to spin it and say it as it is, in the end Boris had to but bloody hell did it take some time.


If you have 2 cows and the Tories give you 3 more, do you have 5 more cows or 3 more cows?



If you have 2 apples  and the Tories give you 3 more, do you have 3 more apples or 5 more?



If you have 2 pound coins in your pocket and the Tories give you 3 more, do you have 3 more pound coins or 5 more?


No more needs to be said really.
