Why are the media fawning over Farage despite his economic illiteracy and slating Polanski?
is it being blinded by the fact he is an elite rich white guy?

This bollocks about reforming NHS dentistry is doing my 'ead in! The government seems to think the only improvement that needs to be made is to pay dentists more for complex work (i.e. anything over and above a check-up), when every fucker on the planet knows that the real issue is so few dentists accepting new NHS patients. I live in Evesham, and there are loads of dentists, but not one of them is taking new NHS patients. It's a f*cking scandal!
Well there's a few in our City that are but I'm pretty sure they'll try and sell upwards.
Been saying it for months (probably years) the state just ain’t working. Left or right, doesn’t matter, nobody appears able to effect any meaningful change that the civil service/‘system’ doesn’t want or allow at pace. Everyone gets bogged down with bollocks as the country gradually seizes up in endless bureaucracy, regulations, planning delays, legal actions, inquiries, consultations, meetings upon meetings etc etc. layers and layers of shit that slows down the good/well meaning but are still swerved by the bad/dodgy. Probably the one area where the UK and EU are still world leaders these days… ‘bureaucracy’
We’ve become a country of blockers, not do’ers….need to snap out of it and quick.

Why would the civil service have an interest in actively obstructing the country's progress? Seems a convenient excuse for feckless governments to criticise a body which they know has no right of reply.

I think it's the dodgy dull light bulbs which the EU gave us. Everyone is in the dark.
Particularly this time of year.

Various reasons; they’ll be some stuff that many will disagree with so will make it difficult (see home office - been talked about to death by governments of 20+ years), culturally there appears to be leaning towards safe decisions and not driving through meaningful change ‘this is how we’ve always done it’, arse covering etc etc. it’s rife across the board.
This isn’t just pointing the finger at the civil service, many of whom are just doing their job, which is why I included the ‘system’ and state generally. It’s so difficult to get things done these days. We add hurdle upon hurdle which slows everything down.
Speak to small business owners about all the stuff they have to deal with, or developers looking to build, government departments overseeing big infrastructure projects or look at energy policies/infrastructure etc There’s plenty of examples in the press/media though as I’ve raised before.

But we have that bureaucracy because we've seen what happens when you don't have regulation and leave it to the markets and it's an absolute wild west shitshow.
