None of the horde of new public servants is providing anything most people would remotely consider to be a public service.
Take the council threatening to close down burger vans, which don't offer 'healthy options'.
What gives them the right to do that? It's none of their business what people eat, especially when they can't do the jobs they are paid for, namely keeping the streets clean and emptying the dustbins?
The 'services' we pay for and depend on are appalling. Town halls employ legions of jobsworths to find out what we want to do and then stop us.

Hundreds of people from Kendal, in the Lake District, turned out for a Freddie Mercury tribute concert at a local leisure centre. As the band reached its finale, the singer urged everyone to get up and dance, whereupon the venue's manager pulled the plug on the sound system mid-song.
Dancing is apparently in breach of regulations. A spokesman for the local council said: 'We hope this did not take away the enjoyment of the event.' And another one bites the dust.

Dancing? What are we in the fifties now? And did that killer ever get fined for dumping the body on the wrong day? I'd bet that's a stiffer penalty than murder nowadays.

No, I'm going with the Titor prediction.
Urban vs. rural with rural winning because the urbanites just starve to death when the rurals block the exits to the cities and no one comes to restock their grocery stores.
Yes, and God help us!
