The Devolution Trojan Horse

It has always struck me as strange that when people criticise goverment and politicians their main beef seems to be summed up in the oft repeated phrase 'polititicans are too remote' whilst for me my main beef is they are not remote enough.How about moving them to Pluto? So as a supposed remedy they are now proposing that old impostor/sop/palliative called devolution.This is the now desperate politicians last bid for holding on to the power they see slipping away from them due to public disgust at their corrupt thieving ways.In reality all devolution amounts to is the adding of further layers of bureaucracy to an overladen State and worse still bringing Big Brother to your doorstep,localising the tyranny.It is the same socialist mindset,just nearer to home in the form of Maoist localism.The devil is in the devilution and it should be eschewed as yet another form of statism with the cynical application of a fresh lick of paint and a modish name designed to hoodwink the untutored in the dark arts of statecraft.Devolution is classic divide and rule tactics by a morribund political class,pitching region against region and effectively balkanising the nation State; all the more easy to control and diffuse any genuine revolt by the people against the depraved political liberal elites.
