If anything I think the process will become far more streamlined.
It is going to have to, if it wants to avoid beng sold off, which won't be good news for many of the sandal-wearing origami lovers in SA99. And it's ironic that it will be a Labour government that has to do this, but that reform is probably already well underway back in London because Jeremy Hunt-you-next-Tuesday wasn't messing around last week. We don't control our economic policy anymore, Liz Truss at least made that clear (if very little else other than what a personality vacuum she is). Investors do. Cuts will be made, and the obvious easy sacrifice to be made here is road safety. Just as it will at the Border Force (or whatever they call themselves these days) to the detriment of our home security. And at the NHS, mortality rates. But the KPIs can't be allowed to fail, if the senior-to-mid-management would like to keep their cushy status-quo (unions seldom disagree internally, do they); which is exactly why it was always historically so tempting to more commercially-minded governments to sell dross like this off. When they should have long ago, but had the brains and the foresight to keep the trains, the power and the water in their pocket, purely for the assets.
Valueless, clerical, menial shite that could be done at a fraction of the cost it is now, to those of us who pay our way, is ripe for a government sell-off to make a fast buck, from the same investors who hoovered up the cheap-assets and gobbled up the cash. So, if they want us to keep paying via the channels we do, they will have to evolve. The gravy train is going to have to come to a stop at Debtville soon, because that stop we thought would never arrive is looking ominously closer.
Sorry if a little off-topic, but interesting that I was getting a lot of red-letters from HMRC about ERSNI for the business I run. I was tired of getting reminder letters for being 1-2 months over, which seemed silly when I knew I was overdrawn; especially since they owed us a much greater sum of money in R&D reclaims. So I told them this and asked why, firstly when they owe us more in fact, and secondly when many businesses (including some very well known, household-name EPL football teams) that don’t pay their ERSNI on time; explaining that in fact I am probably one of 90% of guilty parties, and only ever when we are short. They seemed to know this well, and made very little comment when I then said how much we and the rest of the civilised world all know that gov.uk is a little short of cash right now following recent domestic harmonies.
The government is fugged, the NHS is fugged, many things are fugged after years of neglect. Years of needless war and war 'support', years of flirting with Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Iran and now Ukraine, deluges of needless bureaucracy over meaningless border votes and the ensuing legal fortunes spent, vaccines, tracing people in a worse way than internet firms could do in 1995, seedy and illegal office parties, gender debates... when they should all have been running the sodding country. Everyone in this country who works in the public sector is, I'm afraid, gonna have to pull their socks up, and there is a management cull of biblical proportions coming in some departments; I predict.
