In reply to Galahad Threepwood.

I hate to correct you my friend, but DBERR is so last decade… It’s been Business, Innovation and Skills and Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy since then, and it’s now Business and Trade.

After all, why actually do something about a problem when instead you can rename Departments and shuffle thousands of Civil Servants around, overseen by yet more of ’em making it happen?

What this really brings to the fore is how little effect successive Governments really have had on the economy. They may tinker a bit here and there, but ultimately, what have any of them really done?
