Serving only their own interests

Do politicians have any regard for the people they represent? Are civil servants interested in anything other than their own welfare? The answer to both questions has to be “no” on the evidence of the Chilcot “inquiry” into what went on to drag Britain into President W. Bush’s war with Iraq in 2003. The degree of foot-dragging indicates that both Chilcot and the current cabinet secretary should be sacked, immediately and without a pension, for failing miserably to perform to their pay grade.
