'Theresa May: Infected Blood Inquiry highlights ‘abject failure’ of British state'.

She emerges with some credit, actually, ordering the inquiry, also the chair competent and precise.

The procession of UK state disasters continues, to which each one is normally attached a treasury-driven compensation scheme seemingly deliberately designed so useless it compounds the misery of the victims many of whom will be dead before receiving anything

'It must never happen again', it always does.

My tip for the next one, state-run compensation schemes.

We need a new award in this country, forget OBE how about a
DOE (Defence Of the Establishment).

One more point

State facilitated death and destruction? Makes it sound as though we behave the same way as authoritarian states often do. Maybe that’s where such extreme language comes from!

There have been decisions made that have subsequently been shown to be unwise. Whether they should have been avoided is a matter of opinion but you can be certain that no one deliberately set out to cause death or destruction.

Whenever someone fails to fulfil their duty I can be as critical as anyone else. I have had several run ins with civil servants in a variety of Ministries in recent years where their reasoning was obscure to say the least and the pontificating endless. There is much that needs to be improved. As there is with the way our system of government functions.

That said I also try to understand the difficulties they currently work under and take issue with those who think that magic wands exist which could sprinkle fairy dust and everything would instantly be ok. Root and branch reform is required in some areas but that demands time, money and patience. None of which is available nor likely to be anytime soon.

Right. Well, "we" had better get on with that then. Just out of interest when have they ever done the job we expect from them?

And at the end of that, however it's supposed to happen, we'll still be electing MPs to take decisions as they see fit. Or is that one of the changes?
If not it then what's going to be different?
