You are right about passing responsibility on to others. There are many examples over the past 10 years of government, not only in construction, failing to take responsibility for things it should. Hand out contracts, then forget about them, and leave the taxpayer to pick up the bill when it all goes wrong. You often say there is waste in the NHS, and I know that it does exist along with corruption from its suppliers, but whenever there is a major problem it is not the fault of government, but some trust. Railways don't work for the commuters, but it is the fault of the company that won a contract. So it goes on and on. Failing Grayling gives ferry contracts to a pizza line. What the hell is that about? Could it have been anything to do with who he knew? Contracts given to ports, then no ferries, so the council tax payers can pick up the bill for monies spent. Why did my old County Council go bust when it had nothing left to sell off? Nothing to do with central government starving them of cash of course. Where were the MP's from the county when it collapsed? Nowhere to be seen. Take responsibility for what had been partly their fault. Not likely!
