Over-governed

I would concur with Dr Liam Fox, the former Defence Secretary, who has stated that Britain is “over-governed”; with so many layers of councils and bureaucracy that people struggle to understand how politics works.

Dr Fox wants there to be a “reduction” in levels of government.

He is quoted by the Telegraph:

“You’ve got parish councils, town councils, district councils, county councils, Westminster, Europe. Goodness me, how many politicians do you need to govern a country of 60 million people?

I think we actually do need a slight reduction in the levels of government so people know which bits do matter.”

As an example of government waste I cite today's article on my HMRC site regarding the fruitless payment made by the FCO to HMRC.

The sad fact is that Nanny, councils and their lackeys have no interest in "simplifying" or "delayering" this country's bureaucracy; because they make a very nice living out of it!
