And only now have they noticed?

The following is the concluding paragraph of the Leading Article in today's Daily Telegraph, which may be read in full by clicking here: A succession of Cabinet secretaries has failed to defend the high standards of the service, with results that are becoming ever more disastrous, and ever more apparent. This country has, in consequence, never been so badly run: and has never had a political elite so derelict, so self-serving, so cynical and so shameless in its management of its own decline. This blog has been commenting on the detail of the nation's destruction for years. It has recently become so obvious that now even the Telegraph has reported the truth. It will take a complete clean out of the BBC before the general public becomes aware of the disaster, however, as how many watch Channel 4 TV news which seems the only broadcast output that has the courage to begin to address the gravity of the situation.
