The Civil Service is an unusual
beast. It sits in London and acts the lubricant between changes of government.
Its role is to carry out the wishes of the Government of the day. However, it seems
to have lost its way. Maybe watching too many copies of "Yes
Minister". It would appear that the Civil Service does not like what
the present government is trying to do and therefore carrying out a number of schemes
to block their progress. Sir Philip (it wasn’t me gov) Rutnam, who was in
charge until he found he couldn’t get his own way, seems to have a number of
gang members who are crawling out of the woodwork to try and scupper things so
they and the rest of the shambles can retain all of the many perks they have. Let me remind you it was Rutnam who created
the shambles of the Windrush affair when a number of Commonwealth members were
sent back to their place of origin because they were thought to be illegal
immigrants. Amber Rudd as Home Secretary
had to resign because of his bungling – now it’s payback time. Somewhat overdue I think.
Priti Patel,
the present Home Secretary, now finds herself in a storm where media and the
Civil Servants have drawn knives to try and get rid of her. There are many other examples across both political
parties where Home Secretaries have had arguments and sacked individuals
because they fail to tow the line. The Government
are our representatives and they stay in power because we want them to. We don’t have the same power over the Civil
Service. Is it because Priti is female I wonder? Good on ya is all I can say. Keep up the
fight and Government stand behind her and as usual Media shut up.
So Rutnam needs to put up and shut up and that goes
for the other wimps who found it too tough for them. If you don’t like the heat get out of the kitchen
as they say and if you don’t like what the Government says just remember what
the title of your job is Civil SERVANT and learn to live up to it
