Sadly there are MANY MANY people playing the system and finding ways to never work.
I do know this from people who work in the Civil Service in this area - and some of the stuff that goes on is definitely innovative!!!
Happy to share over a pint when I am back and have a chat
For the avoidance of doubt, this is not some male bollox about meeting for a fight - it’s about having a few beers
I think regarding the main parties, I am just sick of the race to the bottom with campaigning, and in reality Labour (for me) are worse than the Tory’s at this, or have been recently.
The worst I can remember recently is “Do you think adults convicted of sexually assaulting children should go to prison? Rishi Sunak doesn’t.”
The quality of current politicians and this sort of campaigning is just woeful.
Twenty to thirty years ish ago, all sides had credible people who you genuinely thought cared, and even if you didn’t agree with them you believed they had the countries best interest at heart.
John McDonald is a very good example of this - a man I will very rarely agree with or would ever vote for, however you know what he stands for and what he really believes - and he sticks to it - that I respect - not the shower that say just what they think the public want to hear.
Theresa May is probably the Tory version - she cares - 90% of her income goes to her charitable foundation. She is straight, principled and hard working. I really think History will judge her better than currently - after all, as PM she was dealt probably the impossible hand.
Rant over!
