It’s like the civil service, local government and the EU. These people (yes these people) are rewarded for building empires, overspending on budgets and creating waste. We have seen how the civil service do want they want, not what they have been directed to do, or what their mission demands, a good case in point being the miss-named Border Force. Meanwhile the taxpayer is landed with an ever growing tax bill and longer waits for treatment or appointments. The social contract is well and truly broken. Beyond repair.

But it won’t. It’s terrified of the Twitterati, the BBC and the assorted woke virtue-signallers who infest the Establishment.
