A rant about the Local Government and their bright ideas.
The problems with the way Britain's being governed in the Noughties can be summed up in one word: wanking. So much of what's done has nothing to do with servicing citizens; it's just public servants giving themselves handjobs.
Schools. By lowering the bar for exam results teachers and education dept politicians can congratulate themselves, having 'raised the bar on education' (if only by lowering expectations to the point where they're already met.) Just education 'experts' furiously jerking themselves off in a moist cloud of hubristic jism.
The NHS. Doctors are given the task of reducing waiting times for appointments; they do it by limiting the period you can call and join the queue to a couple of days before the appointment. Waiting times go down, because it's not possible for them to go anywhere else. It doesn't help patients, but it lets civil servants congratulate each other in a circle-jerk worthy of anything coming out of the San Fernando Valley.
The police. Arrest numbers need to be high, so they make up crimes and turn single crimes into two or three. Two suspects apprehended? That's two crimes. Jostle in a crowd? Make it a crime, so you can claim your targets are being met. The purest wanking of all: nothing so hard as actually attracting someone to have sex with, just jerk off and kid yourself it's the same thing.
It's all just wanking. All of it. Wanking is the basic urge and activity driving New Labour. And we know what people who wank are called.
And to add a touch of humor - Borat!
