Public Services

Should MPs, and especially ministers, be made to use the public services they're responsible for? 

They may understand the issues, but without skin in the game they can't possibly feel the impact of their decisions when they send their kids to private schools or avail themselves of private healthcare. The urgency is missing when you're alright, Jack.

While many prisons are run by private services, I'm surprised there is no luxury prison service for the wealthy to avail themselves of. However, which prison you go to isn't a matter of choice. Perhaps, one day, it will be.


That said, there is a number of prisons around the globe where conditions are markedly better than your average clink.

My copy of Harry's book should arrive today. Who would have thought that the gutter press vociferously maligning it would result in such publicity that it becomes a block-buster? Bit of an own goal for the hacks who take comments out of context in a vain attempt to destroy him. The fees should enormously swell Harry's war chest for his imminent legal case against the gutter press.
