PLEASE, PLEASE be on your toes when general election parties and candidates give you their promises and “good news”.
A couple of examples, one local, one national from the past few days:
Swire says Ottery hospital is “safe”.
NO, NO, NO!
READ THE LETTER! It does NOT say in-patient beds will be re-opened or that current outpatient services will be maintained at the current level or that they will be increased – only that the situation is “under review”:
And:
Government has “stopped” fracking. TOTALLY UNTRUE!
“The government said it would not agree to any future fracking “until compelling new evidence is provided” that proves fracking could be safe.”
All it has to do is move the goalposts about what it considers “safe”!
