Being the “ideas person” is easy. Implementing and developing those ideas into a practical working form is where the government and those designated to oversee the ideas fail. It happens too often. Too often this country is subjected to an idea becoming reality with no viable plan to back it up.
For me it’s like building a house. “We have an amazing idea for an incredible house, so let’s build it”. You then bring in workers of all trades and tell them about this amazing house, and what it should look like, and with no direct plan, tell them to get to work. All experienced and great at their job, without a plan it will never work. You end up with a cluster of confusion, a massive expense and nothing like imagined because work went ahead on an idea, and not a viable plan.
That’s essentially how Boris Johnson operates. Even as Mayor of London he spent it making grant statements for the headlines, spending millions on a feasibility study, then quietly dropping the proposal without even implementing a plan.
Oh, and then blaming everyone below him for not implementing this vision as they should.
Could it be that the Freedom of Movement system that Europe has in place actually helps to cope with Immigration far better than some series of xenophobic wish-list fantasies? News at Eleven.
