Woe is m... oney

Unwise councils

It's an idealistic dream to think that these things can be reversed, any more than you can uncrash a plane.

The comparison with the private sector (the more realistic, SME-one, not the big corporations who behave, especially at the top, just like government) is interesting, though I do wonder to what extent the inefficient can get weeded out at all, let alone cost-effectively, without gridlock.

There is a vast army that has been created to serve itself, and those who created it, though naked self-interest first and foremost. All within the democratic process.

It may appeal to have more and more bean counters, but eventually if there is no one left (or can afford) to make any beans to count, then cannibalism seems the only recourse. In political terms that seems to translate into social unrest.

'..they should make a point of voting for parties and individuals who recognise this profligacy cannot be sustained any longer.'

And these parties would be...? We're two months off and I am none the wiser.

So what has been written makes for interesting comment, but I don't see any practical solutions.

Which is the other sad legacy of present day life. Those make are marginalised by those who do little more than talk.
