I’d also recommend watching Yes Minister so you can laugh at the irony when they’re discussing implementing a national ID card and you forget that it was filmed in the 80s.
I’m working my way through that one now. One of the first episodes they try to cut civil service staff but end up hiring a 5000 extra so they know which ones to cut. Reform recently spent £5m in Derbyshire on consultants to “find savings”.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
