This does not surprise me at all. Accountability seems to be a dirty word in government, from the local to national level.
In the private sector we are measured on performance and if we don't make the grade we don't get the rewards. In both local and national
government, performance is trumped by adherence to the party line and butt kissing.
The way in which the government spends our money is criminal and it seems to be done with little or no oversight, leading to contracts being awarded
to big companies who have previously under-performed and over-charged. Every time some mess actually get's exposure in the press we are then told
"lessons have been learned". Well that's ok then, £Millions squandered/wasted but they now know they screwed up so no need for anyone to lose
their job
Heck, if it's something really bad they'll just classify it as a National Security issue and slap a "D" notice on the press, burying the info for
30 years or more.
The arrogance and disregard for the law shown by the government is astounding. If they want to know so much about me then it's only fair, as I pay
their wages and finance their crazy schemes, that I know what they are up to.
