Apparently, Edwina Hart is a fan of one-word answers. In response to a written question from Kirsty Williams, she replied with an answer of such mind-boggling intricacy, it really left me awed at the intelligence and skill of our Health Minister.
"No."
That's right. N. O. spells no. I mean, she could have spiced it up a bit and added a few bits of silliness. What about a use of "nada", or "never, fools!" or how about, "over mah dead body". Or even "Begone, you inconveniently sharp-minded political party, or I shall be forced to deal with you in a manner that befits my bungling, burgeoning bellicose brainlessness." That would at least have spiced things up, surely?
Mind you, she's completely and utterly messed up the health service of Wales, so she probably can't afford to give a full and detailed answer about it.
I find her answer incredibly disrespectful to the patients who use the Welsh NHS, to the nurses and doctors working within it, and for all the electorate who will be judging her on the performance of the service. And don't forget, she has a duty now to the Labour members, who will be judging what sort of First Minister she could (temporarily, until Labour get stuffed) be.
Well, in the vein of this latest Labour debacle, I thought I'd ask myself a question, and ask most of Wales a question, and give an answer in the Edwina Hart style (henceforth to be known as "doing an Edwina Hart", or "doing a fart").
Dear Wales,
Will you be voting for Labour in the next General Election?
Yours sincerely,
Edwina Fart (sorry, Hart)
The answer should be obvious.
