Sue Gray steps down on 21:29 - Oct 8 by Dr_Winston | One of my biggest regrets in life is that Cummings failed miserably in his desire to kick the shit out of senior Civil Service leadership. Yes Minister/Prime Minister might have been a sitcom, but one perilously close to the truth. The Civil Service isn't fit for purpose. Capable people do get on, but not because they are capable. In London, salaries are so low that anyone with anything about them steers clear, so important CS jobs go to any moron willing to apply for them. Further afield, advancement goes to those skilled in the application process, not the job. |
I know, just imagine if he'd been given more time - he could have had lies written down the side of every bus in the entire country.. | |
