SIR – As I think most of us suspected, the promise to axe the quangos was just another broken promise.
Successive governments have devolved government responsibility to the EU and quangocracy for many years. They cannot be axed – too many of the great and the good would lose their lifestyle.
Last year, a friend met two such minor quangocrats on the way back from Venice, having been promoting tourism to Barnsley.
When will a newspaper start a name-and-shame campaign to get these monkeys off our backs?
