History repeats

Well worth a read.

One thing that strikes me though is often we look for the hidden when there is nothing but incompetence or petty malice.

I worked in the civil service  and on occasion  my colleagues were somewhat judgemental and applied their own interpretation of the rules. I suspect that whilst a lot of bad stuff happens it is as much due to personal prejudices and ignorance as to a deliberate policy.   This plus a measure of incompetence.

Sometimes the enemy is hidden right in front of you.
