Over the last ten years, New Labour has boosted public spending by
around a trillion pounds - that's GBP1,000,000,000,000 of our taxes
- over GBP50,000 for every household in Britain. But what have we
got for our money? Effective and responsive public services that
are the envy of the world? Or the creation of a vast, self-serving
bureaucracy that has presided over the greatest waste of money in
British history? With so much money, a tsunami of extra cash, being
thrown at public services - health, education, policing, defence,
social services and public administration - there have been some
successes. Nevertheless, the results of the Government's tidal wave
of extra spending have been worse than pitiful. In department after
department, it is the same sorry story - a triple whammy of
incompetence, cover-up and cuts that have all but decimated public
services, while those responsible have lavished money and honours
on themselves. David Craig exposes the sometimes tragic, sometimes
comic story of how New Labour's years of mismanagement have led to
a bureaucratization of Britain that has squandered almost
unimaginable amounts of taxpayers' money, caused irreparable damage
to all our lives and rewarded the man responsible with the keys to
Number 10.
