Universal uselessness?

It’s not just our public services that can’t get the job done. The train companies went after 29,000 fare dodgers, I read, but used the wrong law to get them fined.
    As a result, the fines have been cancelled by the courts. And there are thousands of similar cases still in the system.
    Now, as we have to do is decide if this is worse or less serious than the Office for National Statistics chumps getting the net migration figure for 2021-23 wrong by 307,000.
