The UK government appears to be operating in the fantasy land of its own propaganda, where regardless of the facts on the ground, the government always knows best.
Examples of which we all have personal experience:
"Our" NHS - otherwise known as the bottomless pit into which the governing classes are compelled by their own rhetoric to pour ever-increasing amounts of money simply because they can't think of any other "solution". Of course there is always a new reason for this (they were "underfunded", they were "inefficient and should be privatised", they were "inefficient and should be nationalised" "its a pandemic!" etc).
The railways - see above
Transport for London - see above
Of perhaps more significance for our future is their fantasy of global domination, as illustrated by today's headline in the Telegraph:
"Army chief: Public face call-up if UK goes to war" - slightly softened in the on-line Telegraph as they realised that they may have overstepped:
"Ukraine conflict shows calling up public can win wars, says UK Army chief"
Ukraine seems to cautiously agree - but whatever happened to the previous mass mobilisation of Ukrainians, and whose citizens are they now wanting mobilised?
Will their answer to their favourite protagonists losing wars be to for ever stoke those wars with our UK resources, even including our own sons and daughters as cannon-fodder?
To the point: in what way has Ukraine demonstrated that calling up their public has shown positive results? Even with NATO providing training and equipment?
Now our politicians have already taken sides in the Middle East by bombing the Houthis in Yemen (ineffectively as it turns out) - how soon will they be calling up UK conscripts for the army to go and eject Hamas from their tunnels under Gaza with just as little success?
Is it not now high time for us to take our self-deluded self-obsessed and ever more obviously unhinged political classes more seriously?
Will we really support them to pour our conscripted sons and daughters down black holes in Gaza / Ukraine with the same insouciance as they have poured our money into "our" NHS?

It seems that "the times, they are a-changing".
We all know that lawfare is an inordinately slow process, and slowed ever further by the byzantine complexity of much of today's (not to mention yesterday's) legislation.
Still, a trucker's a trucker, a man's a man, and a victory is a victory for a' that (yes,it's Burrrrns week!).
" ... the decision to issue the Proclamation does not bear the hallmarks of reasonableness – justification, transparency and intelligibility ... "
Ouch.
Still, two years to establish that does seem excessive, bearing in mind the draconian nature of the repression.

Two articles (at least!) of interest here:
UK Column:
Off Guardian:
Interrogating “Multipolarity”: A Response to “Understanding Power Dynamics”
Both are rather long and written by very knowledgeable people, and the second is a response to the first.
They both deal with the future nature of the relationships between nations under the oversight of a reformed United Nations, and in the context of the now rather infamous Public-Private Partnerships between said nations, the UN, and the corporate world,
The primary players:
- The global network of corporations (Google, Microsoft, et al) and the corporate controlling interests (Black Rock, State Street, Vanguard)
- Charitable foundations of international standing (Bill and Melinda Gates, Clinton, Rockefeller, Open Society, Oxfam, Red Cross etc), the WEF and and other assorted NGOs too numerous to mention
- The network of Central Banks, World Banks, BIS, IMF etc which control the world's money flows
- The world's militaries (NATO, Russia, China et al)
- The world's legal institutions (International Court of Justice, International Criminal Court, European Court of Human Rights, European Court of Justice, and all the national supreme courts around the globe, most if not all of which operate under the law of commerce / the law of the sea
- The institutions of global governance (UN as umbrella organisation)
- The world's information collection and dissemination systems (currently largely owned by media moguls of a specific tendency) and education systems. Without rigorous honesty integrity and freedom to undertake and publish the fearless investigative journalism that has been so suppressed and lacking in recent years, other reforms will of themselves be inadequate.
All of which form an interlocking control grid that must eventually be viewed and reformed as a whole if it is to become a viable platform upon which to build a successful future of peaceful cooperation around the world.
What all this boils down to is the age-old questions:
- What do we need government for?
- What should government not do?
- How should governance best be established?
What is "governance" anyway?
What does an organisation do that cannot be done by a self-organising collection of motivated individuals?
Whether we are discussing the local parish council or the United Nations, the principles involved should be the same. It is not going to work without integrity at all levels, so complete and prompt transparency is a prerequisite.
I hope somebody somewhere is taking this wider view into account ...

Ben's report today is essential reading.
"Many monotheists think we are facing end times. The reality is we are facing beginning times"
"I will start by summarizing my personal involvement in this war ... a massive war that has literally been raging for thousands of years"
"An ancient group mind or cult, known in folklore as 'Satan', is about to be defeated"
No pressure then.
