I bought this book yesterday, it is lovingly researched and totally gruesome and I warmly recommend it to all.
My favourite page is page 88, on which he lists all the quangos that Nulab invented to deal with education; the list is a whole page long.
It all confirms my long-held assumption that at least 20% of government spending, i.e. £100 billion per annum, is waste, pure and simple.

Steady on.. Nothing wrong with a good quango.
you should get one. Ask HMG, they've got loads.
Yes I too bought "Squandered" and I finished it a week ago. Like you, I recommend this excellent, very detailed and well-researched book.
I hope it will be more widely read. The appalling waste, the fraud and hypocrisy, the cruel, casual unconcern for the have-nots in every sphere is horrifying and shameful.
We need urgently to halt the abuse of power and the insidious change from democracy to bureaucracy as the mode of government in the UK and the EU.
My personal bête noire is the NHS and the abuse of power by the system and by many health professionals.
In the light of the current financial scandals that are precipitating us to Hell in a handcart I expect David Craig is busy writing another book!
