I am surprised that more was not made of the news that life expectancy in the UK has plateaued when it was announced by the BBC earlier this week.
Plaid is in no doubt that the reason that more people in Wales are dying than expected is that government cuts affect already deprived areas disproportionately, and for once I am inclined to agree with them. So this disreputable Tory administration moves towards cutting the fiscal deficit two ways: directly, by not fully funding the NHS, by saving money on social security, inhibiting retired people from leading healthy lives, and then on pensions which do not need to be paid.
