I've not said that they need my permission or approval. Conversely, I don't need your permission to stick up for this great country and its civil servants.
If you and others want to criticise our hardworking civil servants because what they produce doesn't fit what Farage, Rees-Mogg preached etc it's your choice.. but constant sniping at servants of the Crown is not positive for democracy as the best people will leave. It's demotivating and you wouldn't like to be in their shoes.
In the context of Brexit it would be fantastic to hear some positive well-argued reasons as to why our civil servants are wrong. I guess I'm saying let's move on from a "I'm wrong, you're right" type of thing to something better argued. If there's a conspiracy theory behind it or well-calculated data, let's hear them.
