The UK a Kleptocracy?

Traditionally the Conservative Party has been the party of government thrift, and the Labour Party the one of flinging money at problems and hoping for the best.

 Hence the Tory MP who was on the radio a few mornings ago (I didn't catch his name but he was a "Sir" ) was true to form when he explained that he and some 40 other Conservative MPs and Peers objected to taking part in "Unconscious Bias" training because of the huge cost to the public purse of £700 000.

If I heard heard correctly he certainly has a point.  There are 650 MPs and about 800 Peers, so if they all take it the cost per head is £483, which is pretty expensive training. 

I wonder which lucky company  was given the contract?

However, this is small beer  compared with the money this allegedly Conservative  government is flinging around to combat the coronavirus. In her speech on Monday the Shadow Chancellor Annelliese Dodds quoted the £130m contract for the testing kit that didn't work and £150 million purchase of face masks that weren't suitable for  clinical use.  These agreements were made in a hurry and not subject to the usual scrutiny.

Most of the British are fair-mined people and will sympathise with the excuse that abnormal procedures have to be used in abnormal times.  We will also be tolerant of rules that change as circumstances change.

 So going  back to the office to work seemed a good idea a couple of weeks ago when the virus seemed to be coming under control: work from home if you can is now the good idea as the virus appears to be soaring out of control.

But what cannot, in my view, be excused is the the way the government has used the pandemic to ignore experienced and successful public bodies with the likely expertise to help control the virus in favour of profit-maximising maximising firms. 

So rather than use the well-honed Local Government  Public Health Services and the established virology laboratories across the NHS the contact tracing system is outsourced to Serco and the Lighthouse  testing labs to Deloitte.

That is the same Deloitte that was fined £15m earlier this month for its failure properly to audit the accounts of the software company Autonomy.  Last year a fine of £19.2m was imposed on Serco for fraud and false accounting over its electronic tagging service for the Ministry of Justice.

 These are the most glaring examples of massive outsourcing of public works to private companies of proven incompetence.  Others are detailed in a recent article  in the Guardian by  Aditya Chakrabortty.

In the post war collapse of empires many newly independent countries have, after promising starts, degenerated into Kleptocracies in which  their leaders grabbed national resources for themselves and their friends.

Sadly the mature United Kingdom appears to be travelling down the same path.  

If a marginally left-of-centre government were acting in any way similarly there would be outrage.  As and when the reckoning comes I hope something like outrage will be expressed towards the present clique in charge of our country.

    1. CRYPTO RECOVERIES AND OTHER TROUBLESHOOTS.


      Outside various bitcoin online trading communities...
      we are strictly rendering fast help to those bitcoin online investors facing various issues

      left unattended by their wallet accounts SERVICE PROVIDER (team supports),leaving you hanging and lost on how to go about getting help. 

      EG:

      BLOCKSTREAM (blockchain)

      Blockstream employs a number of prominent bitcoin core developers and is one of the largest 

      contributors of the software's funding.The company has been attempting to make it possible 

      to "break off" transactions from the bitcoin network,

      making the number of "REGISTERED ACCOUNT’S TROUBLESHOOT TICKETS” the network 

      could handle less important and most time not even looked into as there are 

      millions of “REQUEST TICKETS” on the team supports cue.



      "BE SMART ENOUGH”, to know these companies don’t even care if ONE out of more than a million customers they got is in need of support after getting scammed and etc.

      for example:


      1️⃣ NONSPENDABLE BITCOIN ACTIVATION! 


      2️⃣STOLEN BITCOIN$(fake FX trading platforms)! 



      3️⃣LOST PASSWORD GLITCH! 



      4️⃣TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATOR PROBLEMS! 



      5️⃣LOST ID OR PASSWORD GLITCH! 



      6️⃣HACKED ACCOUNTS ! 



      7️⃣ RECOVERY OF CRYPTO (BINARY LOSSES & STOLEN FUNDS) 


      8️⃣PHISHING OF BITCOIN ACCOUNTS PROBLEM! 



      9️⃣LOGIN ERORS! 



      10.SCAMMED DURING BITCOIN TRADINGS (WITHDRAWAL ISSUES). 



      cases like these get your crypto funds trapped (likely lost forever,until you meet the right agents like "US").


      NOTE:
      COINBASE/TEAM-SUPPORT

      BINANCE/TEAM-SUPPORT

      KRAKEN/TEAM-SUPPORT

      BITFINEX/TEAM-SUPPORT

      HITBTC/TEAM-SUPPORT

      LOCALBITCOIN/TEAM-SUPPORT

  2. Thank you Nigel Hunter. Though directed at the US there are hints of Johnson's government in 13 if the 14 point. The one exception is Point 8: "Religion and the Ruling Elite tied together" I can't think of any two individuals further apart than Johnson and the present Archbishop of Canterbury.

    Very well worth reading.
