Dale Vince paying £5m to get £100m is a brilliant wheeze. I suspect there are hundreds of similar boondoggles going on. I nominate the money pit called HS2 as the daddy of all boondoggles. We need DOGE in the UK!!
I had interaction with CMA over motor insurance. In effect CMA buckled as the considerable financial interests of insurance companies took many valid points about sources of cost increase off the discussion completely.
Meanwhile, CMA has become a toothless talking shop in the main serving large interests, not the public.
In Pakistan there is a train called the Awam Express which runs from Karachi to Lahore (and possibly Peshawar) I can't remember. It was notorious for being late. Awam is the Urdu word for people. It was said that the Awam Express' name was true in the sense it had people on it.
So it is with Islington Intellectuals, they do, at least, live in Islington.
