In case there was any doubt that civil servants are biased against Conservative administrations and prefer Labour policies, a series of Guardian columns by a Labour superfan civil servant should put the matter to rest. Michael Deacon has more in the Telegraph.
Anyone who dares to suggest that civil servants hate the Tories is invariably accused of paranoia. Such airy dismissals, however, are going to be rather harder to sustain following the latest in a series of columns for the Guardian by an anonymous Whitehall figure.
Its headline: ‘After Years of Being Gaslit by Government, We Civil Servants Can Breathe Again Under Labour’.
Underneath, the author reveals how jubilant he or she is about the election result – because, for example, “the Rwanda policy and other fatbergs of accumulated economic and political dysfunction” can now be “dissolved”. This glee, it seems, is shared by many of the author’s colleagues. One civil servant is quoted as saying: “I’ve never been so glad to see the back of a Government.” Another expresses relief that “I won’t face each day wondering what nasty bit of policy we’ll be told to enact… I feel professionally revitalised knowing that the adults are back in charge.”
What’s striking about these comments is not just that they fall quite a long way short of neutrality. It’s that they were expressed at all. Clearly these civil servants felt confident they could voice such views to colleagues without getting in trouble. Which means they knew their colleagues felt the same.
Still, this will have come as little surprise to anyone who has read this anonymous civil servant’s columns before. In 2020, someone used an official civil service Twitter account to call the then Tory government “arrogant and offensive. Can you imagine having to work with these truth twisters?” In response, the anonymous columnist filed an article headlined, ‘The Rogue Civil Service Tweet Spoke for Most of Us’. This “brave heretic”, we learnt, “has already become something of a civil service legend… The resistance continues.”
Curiously, an investigation by the Cabinet Office never did identify the culprit.

Not even an existence.
I wouldn’t really call that living at all. Just existing, and barely so.
Stoke Communism to avert a snifflette.
Oh, God.
I’ll try reverse psychology this time, it sometimes works on my grand children.
Stick with the program, it may take years but it’ll be worth it!
I’m glad you acknowledge that different degrees of ‘covid’ measures are in fact different degrees of communism.
Communism is the ideology of Marx and Engels, it yas nothing to do with bankers.
Nothing to do with bankers…?
http://fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/history/zionism/news.php?q=1429885201
Given that Marx proposed the negation of economics, your claim is rubbish.
You conflate a central bank with free banks.
I kind of agree with you, but the current system of fractional reserve banking in tandem with the central bank, allowing both to create money from credit is insane and unsustainable, don’t you think?
Please detail the evidence for the claim that the French Revolution was funded by bankers.
Look it up yourself!!!
Realistically, almost everything is funded (to the degree that it’s funded) with money coming from a bank.
It’s probably best to ignore Americans who simply don’t understand that they’re the only ones who believe states are inherently evil. Their’s isn’t so old yet. They’ll get over it in a few hundred years.
Communism, and communist revolutions, have nothing to do with bankers – are you being serious?
Shortly after the French Revolution (which was funded by bankers), a central bank was created with its banker shareholders given exclusive rights to print money – much like the Fed today. Of course, those that control the credit of a nation, and charge interest on that credit, eventually control the nation. Likewise in Russia, after Wall Street bankrolled Trotsky and Lenin, the same financial elite began investing heavily in a Russia where the labour force had been dispossessed of any rights.
French revolutionaries were inspired in part by the writings of professor Adam Weishaupt, who had founded a secret order and revealed his most radical plans to only his closest confidents. Weishaupt suggested that mankind would best be served by eliminating monarchical rule, destroying the church, repealing all law, forbidding ownership of property, crushing patriotism and dispensing with nation states. If everyone was equal, he argued, there would be no competition, envy would cease to exist, conflict would end and mankind would live in eternal peace.
This fantasy utopia is what our youth are being taught to believe in today.
Some years later this very same radical program was honed by Engels and Marx into the Communist Manifesto.
The basic tenets of the Communist Manifesto are: 1. Destruction of Christian values, 2. Destruction of the family unit, 3.Abolition of national borders. 4. Elimination of separate nationalities. 5. Confiscation of private property. 6. Elimination of inheritance and the establishment of a One World Government run by appointees. In such circumstances, all of the worlds’ wealth would be harvested into the effective ownership of one very small group of powerful plutocrats at the top.
As it happens, these ‘communist’ objectives mirror the exact same aims of ‘the Illuminati’, ‘the Davos set’, ‘the Bildeburg group’, ‘the bankers’, ‘the Elite’, ‘the globalists’ or whatever else you chose to call the powerful forces at work who are self evidently pushing, in one form or another, for a One World Government.
Anyone who says the bankers have nothing to do with communism has no understanding of history or politics. For the bankers, world-wide ‘communism’ is a strategic objective
And Wall Street financed the Nazis via Switzerland (even after the US entered the war) “military industrial complex” as President Eisenhower called it.
Nazis were socialists and still are.
National socialism, being a form of socialism, makes economic calculation impossible by abolishing the market and market prices.
Your post is unserious gibbering.
You essentially deny man has a mind in your flatulent outburst.
A central bank is Marxist, a plank of the Communist Manifesto, the very existence of a central bank is irrational.
By contrast, a free banking system of the kind Scotland had for two hundred years is rational, free markets are rational.
As Ludwig Von Mises demonstrated, socialism makes economic calculation impossible by abolishing the market and market prices. Since Communism is a form of socialism, it follows that Communism makes economic calculation impossible by abolishing the market and market prices
Your claim that banks desire the negation of economics is moronic.
This is not just communism. This is a very special kind of communism. This is a series of 4 short 10 min videos. Absolutely horrendous. Coming to a place near me and you and you and you in the very near future!

More fake news
The Queen cannot have covid
You cannot get covid if you have been jabbed, President Joseph Biden told us this
He forgot to tell you he was lying.
I can usually come up with a theory in my mind for pretty much anything. But I have literally no clue how China exits zero-covid.
They jabbed everybody ages ago and stuck with the zero-covid approach knowing full well the jabs did f. all.
So they can’t take the ‘pretend the vaccine has saved us’ vaccine route out that the western world is taking.
Admitting they screwed up is not an option. The CCP is like a divine entity that can do no wrong.
They can’t throw someone under the bus because Xi Jingpin has been the front for the China response taking the early credit.
They can’t let Hong Kong go their own way because it would show rhe rest of China up.
And the isolation will only work so long before the Chinese start getting passed off that the rest of the world has moved on.
They are so, so screwed.
And don’t they deserve to be screwed? Being in thrall to Chairman Xi’s amazing leadership?!!
Xi has backed himself in a corner here: As he’s the genius leader of China whose so-called philosophies and grand ideas pupils have to memorize, he cannot possibly admit that he’s been doing nothing but inflict needless suffering and major economic harm on his country by assuming that he really knew everything better than everybody else and trying to prove that he was the real Canute and that the tides would obey to him. Sooner or later, this will very likely end with a sword falling onto him and then, China will both live with COVID and live without Xi.
I see a fourth jab is being offered within weeks for the elderly and immuno-supressed. No doubt it will then move down the age groups!
Pathetic response to nothing more than a cold
HK has seen about 214 deaths in 2yrs.
Why so low?
Absolutely nothing to do with masks and isolation………because of prior immunity to coronaviruses gained in the 2000s.
Yet this farce is being perpetrated.
All about politics – because of the 2019 troubles, Beijing wants everybody jabbed, and everybody on the social credit system……CONTROL.
AND THE WEST IS APING CHINA.
CCP Fascism. ….that’s what they secretly want here ..if they can get away with it..
An appalling scene in which the speaker of the Canadian parliament pretends not to hear an MP’s question which anyone who watches the clip can hear loud and clear. Whatever you do, don’t under any circumstances mention the Great Reset or WEF or you’ll be ‘cancelled’ like this MP
https://youtu.be/LENRhxcwe8Y
It looks as if over half the Canadian cabinet owe their allegiance to Mr Schwab.
What about the UK?
A revealing clip, the question deftly batted away as misinformation, it would no doubt get short shrift in the UK commons. Schwab’s young global leaders won’t entertain conspiracy facts.
God help them.
I bet so many people in Hong Kong wish they were still part of the British Empire now.
