I think Paxman is right. It is out of control, because there is no control.
I understand that there are winners and losers in that situation, but if you go and ask the man on the street, they tend to not be overly happy had the sheer volume of numbers.
If Britain didn't have 1 in 4 people working for the government and I didn't pay more in tax than I actually earned (all things considered), then maybe I would be more open to the idea that Britain had a thriving economy, desperate for workers that it can't provide.
That is clearly not the case and there isn't a hell of a lot you can say to prove it to me otherwise.
