The spiral of decline is fast becoming an everyday reality, no longer can obfuscation, divergent tactics and outright lies from our elites? Alter that fact.
On every level we see malfeasance, corruption and groups of ideologues pretending all is well and if we all pull together things will improve, never mind the simple fact they put nothing in motion to achieve that illusory aim.
The state gets ever bigger: 70 new quangos since this Labour government took charge; the demand for further layers of state-backed positions, such as regional mayors and the accompanying offices to add to the already burgeoning civil service that has been added according to a recent report, The report includes sobering figures about the degrees of churn among both ministers and civil service, but also the scale of civil service expansion. The SCS is nearly 70% larger than in 2012, and the policy profession larger by 94% since 2016.
One has to ask why is there this push to devolve power and add layers of government, such as the regional mayors and Police and Crime Commissioners. Our local PCC has an office of thirty people, the original PCC had eight? Is there any justification for the increase? None at all: she is invisible and pointless and never had a proper job before becoming the Labour party sticking plaster. There was a rumour that the local unitary authorities will do away with PCCs and the newly elected mayor will do the job; why and how is this necessary, to get rid of one layer of government and then create another? This as now will be a political appointment yet if needed at all it should be be an independent position.
Yes, we need an accountable diligent and successful CS but like the NHS it has an awful lot of people who contribute little and the tax take from the private sector to maintain all this just keeps rising. Value for money? I think not, a DOGE is desperately needed.
Along with the costs of our open borders policy we are sinking in debt and this government has hardly got off to a good start on the economic front. Rachel From Complaints was hardly a star in the banking world, though compared with the rest of her front bench team she did at least have some experience outside of politics; not that it seems to have stood her in good stead as the bond market goes even lower than when the-short lived Liz Truss government was blamed for ‘trashing the economy.’ There are times when being tight lipped until you have a favourable result is the route to take.
We now have various political parties all blaming one another for the country’s woes. Nothing new in that except the scale of such which is futile and endless. None of them have listened to the electorate, all are playing board games with the country going to the dogs at an ever increasing rate, still they put personal political survival and party before the country, hence the back door moves to rejoin the EU, a failing entity on all fronts.
Have we ever heard so many foreign voices spelling out our demise? It is no good saying they should all be quiet as it is nothing to do with them. Not that long ago we had influence in the world; now we are kidding ourselves. Our press, or what is left of it, is generally compliant with all that goes on, little of value is printed these days and they are generally behind the curve when they do write something of note.
They did as told during Covid and continue to toe the line to a large degree. When was the last time a member of the press called out a politician at one of their asinine press conferences? It is not as though there has been a lack of opportunity.
Two recent voices partly explain much that is obvious.
Perhaps some of this would be useful:
And on a more peaceful but succinct note (re the r*pe gangs):

A *forthright* summation of what our country has come to:

https://x.com/i/status/1929143136372097221For the general public and taxpayer it has become a bore and is draining the life from what is left of Britain. Rachel Reeves’ speech in Rochdale said it all with the dragooned masses behind her showing no sign of approval of the monosyllabic monologue she delivered, Andrew Laurence does a good skit of the same here.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1930589458467799135The quality of leadership is truly dreadful. Two-tier policing and judiciary are evident despite denials we can all see what is going on. Lucy Connolly is just an unfortunate demonstration.
There is even denial among politicians that there is a groundswell of rising disquiet, most is total BS -

The CEO of our local NHS hospital trust emerged in public to say that the trust will be ignoring the Supreme Court ruling on trans men in women’s spaces. Not unexpected, from a trust that in the past has festooned the main building with rainbow flags and has all noticeboards with PRIDE slogans at every turn. Just get on with your job trying to provide health care for those who pay your inflated salary and dispense with virtue signalling about something that is irrelevant and outside your remit. Perhaps you should make a trip to A&E and see as I did a couple of weeks ago thirty plus people sitting on the floor as they had run out of space and chairs! A third world service with all the trappings is now normalised for the indigenous population; as many have realised, arriving by dinghy by-passes all this hassle; priorities, priorities.
The scale of the discontent in this country is not being exaggerated. The historic ruling class has been rumbled yet the lies keep coming.
Something eventually will have to give. Time is running out for meaningful change. The mealy-mouthed “change” utterances of this government don’t even scratch the surface.
