A regular theme of this site is that we are taught to treat the political class with reverence, while dismissing the voluntary sector as wicked, grasping, contemptible, corrupt, etc. Quite a con job the political class has brainwashed us — ever since we were educated in their own schools — into believing.
I’m not sure I have ever seen this point driven home as poignantly and effectively as Jeff Tucker does in this piece. Please don’t pass this one by.
