I'm not a fan of the bloke but despite experience or lack of it (and BTW Williamson was university-educated and a chair of the Conservative Students at one point too) Percy in his post earlier is spot-on about the so-called "
assistance" from civil servants.
We have seen a few occasions recently which suggest that there are those civil servants who seem far more interested in self-serving quangoism than in being of any real assistance whatsoever, whether that be towards the British public or to our government.
