The more we watch the utter incompetence and ineptitude of highly paid officials in both MLA and DMCS unfold, the more it has to be obvious that those people who are on the board of the MLA and the ACL and senior civil servants in the DCMS have not had the faintest idea of the state of the public library service for a long time.
They have no information, no evidence, have made no attempt to gain evidence and not even the sense to ask for a half decent guess (nor even the interest, perhaps to visit a few libraries in London - to have a look)
The Titanic isn't sinking-- it has already sunk and reached the bottom and as if to mark the occasion in proper fashion, The Reading Agency has issued invitation to a champagne party in the most exclusive venue on London's South Bank in order to celebrate 5 years of what? Large salaries, I suppose. Glug glug
