The British Government website for all thats wrong with Britain and the British

British Government - Does it work for you?

Just how much do you trust our government? Politicians lie to you and make false promises. Government departments squander huge amounts of your taxes in supporting the welfare state, education, police, armed forces and the NHS, all of which require massive funding but is it all being wisely spent? We think not.

Our Forum Message Board gives you the chance to voice your opinion. Let people know what you think of current politics, politicians, government departments, the education system or public services in general. Let us know what you dislike most about the British Government.

Do our MP's really have much of a clue about what ordinary Brits think about them or their policies? Are they out of touch with reality?

	Cutting Taxes v Social Services All this crap about cutting taxes has ended up just making governments more devious in their ways of raising revenue. Instead of raising the rate of income tax they make a big thing about how they are committed to keeping taxes low and then sting you with VAT or changes in National Insurance or increases in tax on the goods that you buy. In the end we are seldom better off and ministers can sit snoozing on the wooden benches at Westminster confident in the knowledge that they have yet again managed to shaft the UK taxpayer without a fight. What are your views on taxation? Should you be paying all this money to support single mums, the long term unemployed and immigrants?
	Transport and Britains roads With the price of rail travel and the unreliable services of buses and public transport, the government now wants us to abandon our cars and take to public transport. Hmmmm. Perhaps Londoners would like to cram more people in their sardine canned underground system or people travelling from Wolverhampton to Birmingham might stick with the hugely expensive, unpopular and troubled metro system. Governments have always been good at telling us what we should do and then lacking in the support and infrastructure to enable us to make their aspirations come to fruition.
	Government Projects & Benefits Agencies If anyone can come up with a multitude of ridiculous and inefficient ways in which to squander money then it has to be the British Government. We are always hearing stories about this initiative or that initiative to help this wishy washy subject or that wishy washy subject. Post offices to have separate queues to help our troubled asylum seekers or extreme cases of political correctness going beserk and causing more problems than they solve. Massive amounts of government money is spent on surveys and hordes of consultants are employed to dream up yet more ways of spending money on areas that would probably be strongly resented by 95 per cent of the population. Where will all this madness end?
	The Education System and the Establishment Take a look at the state of some of our schools today. Teenagers roam the streets instead of going to school and despite government talks of a clampdown any citizen of our inner cities will tell you that government policy is not working. The private schools flourish yet should we have to consider private education which is restricted to only those that can afford it or should it not be a right for every child to have the best education facilities available. The establishments attempts to meet some of the public concerns are under constant ridicule and whilst all the right things are being said there is very little evidence of any changes taking place. See some of our visitors comments on the state of the nation and how they view the establishment in the UK.
