Nomination: Technocrats who aren’t.
I have nothing against the idea that some questions require expert technical knowledge. I wouldn’t tell my doctor how to write a prescription, my lawyer how to draft a will nor would I tell an architect how to design a bridge. People get paid for expertise, it’s a no brainer. I would listen to Richard Dawkins if I wanted to learn about evolution rather than a priest or imam who has read one book.
Unfortunately, the ‘technocrats’ who run most international organisations are anything but. The supporters of the EU (for example) claim that the people who run this organisation are better at solving technical problems than the elected politicians in national parliaments. This doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. Since it came into existence on 1st November 1993, the European Union has faced three major crises – the Yugoslavian war, the 2008 financial crash and the ongoing Syrian refugee crisis. In every one of these situations, the ‘technocrats’ at the EU either abdicated responsibility (Yugoslavia) or made a bad situation worse (Syria).
That Canadian prick who heads the Bank of England whilst drawing the thick end of a million quid in salary draws praise from financial journalists for his doomsday predictions about a no deal Brexit. Not one of these nobheads predicted the crash in 2008 but apparently they know the exact shape of the world economy in 2030.
Fuck them. (Copyright, D.Fiddler esq.)
