The Rural Payments Agency has made such a shambles of handing out EU
subsidies – worth more than £1 billion – to English farmers that the
agency’s Northallerton office has had to recruit dozens of
sixth-formers from the local comprehensive to come in, between six and
nine each evening, to help sort out the mess.
Things really have come to a pretty pass when yer average comprehensive sixth former is more effective than yer average bureaucrat.
