Happy Birthday America and what ails Broken Britain

“Reorganising the civil service is like drawing a knife through a bowl of marbles.”
Compare and contrast the USA and Britain. The new country and the old. Our problems are not in our inventiveness, our skills or our people, but in how our societies work. We suffer from Politics that don’t govern, Businesses that don’t share, and Bureaucracies that don’t deliver. These are problems of late-stage democracies in need of a reset. Politicians keep promising – maybe one day one of them will actually make changes!
Happy Birthday America!
Have a great party!…
