New Labour - shit at targets.

Here we go, watch the fuckers attempt to spin this.

Amongst the key targets missed were:

- reducing levels of re-offending - target reduce by 5%, result reduce by 0.1%

- halving the number of children in poverty - target reduce by half, result a rise of 200,000

- raising educational standards in secondary schools - does anyone believe any of the figures on educational standards? And they can't even meet their targets with fiddled figures
- reducing health inequalities
- improving the lives of vulnerable elderly people - reducing hospital bed numbers was a big help here
- getting more people to use public transport - ever increasing public transport prices could not have helped here although the amount of extra taxation on drivers was a good attempt to move results their way

Labour great at setting targets, crap at meeting them.
