Re: But of course
@Jason Bloomberg
"The staff on the front line at PHE were doing an absolutely wonderful job when it came to tracking and tracing. It's the paid-for government shills at the top who are giving it a bad name. Of course their heads won't roll."
Of course the problem is from above. Unfortunately the state is so big it is bound to have various issues which of course the party elected get the blame for. I am not sure how true it is that Hancock read about the covid counting failures on a blog but this is where he needs to dig into the public service and either collapse the organisation as a failure or try to fix it.
"If the government let competent people do the jobs they are good at we wouldn't see such incompetence. But that doesn't suit an incompetent government preparing scapegoats for their incompetence and failings."
I agree but the government is bigger than just the elected party, its the civil service. Unfortunately the elected parties have so far been fans of the big state and that compounds the problem.
