Some of the people I work with are the nicest, most caring people you could ever hope to meet. Their altruism is unreal, seriously.

I despise thew contradiction that means that a council failing to meet 'targets' gets punished for being inneficient, whilst when the government themselves fail to meet their own targets they claim it's somehow a good thing, and shows how high they are aiming. So councils get less money whilst evil governemnt appropriates even more.
I do know peole working for our council whowere once very passionate but have just been worn down by the system of inaction and corruption. Good things don't get done because they are very deliberately prevented from happening, in favour of more power-grabbing measures that benefit, ultimately, no-one.
