Over-centralised, over-sized and overbearing, public administration in Britain is rendered exhausted and incapable . Fortress Whitehall these days is like Kenilworth Castle under siege by Henry III. The wretched occupants have eaten their saddles and are down to their last rat. News that 2m learner-driver licences have been lost somewhere between Minnesota and Iowa City confirms that transport policy has been subcontracted to Magritte. No one even bothers to ask why the licences are in Iowa. It could have been an Indian paddy field or a Moroccan souk. British public administration has moved from cataclysmic to surreal, and 2007 has been its annus horribilis. Guardian
