An unbelievable untruth

"Power went out at Peterborough Hospital at about 2215 BST on Thursday and a back-up generator failed".

Sounds serious so far?

There's more. "The emergency department blacked out as were the operating theatres, along with the maternity and critical care units. Power was restored at 0230 BST on Friday."

But don't worry. A spokesman for the hospital said

Patient safety remained a priority at all times and patient care was not compromised in any way.

What? Patient care was a priority? Not the priority?

Let's see. The emergency department is blacked out for hours, the critical care units are blacked out for hours, and patient care is not compromised in any way?

Did Comical Ali land another job? Do they really expect us to believe this?
