Bluffocracy

James Ball

Britain is run by people who are bluffing. At the top of government, our media and the civil service and sit men - it's usually men - whose core skill is talking fast, writing well, and endeavouring to imbue the purest wind with substance. They know a little bit about everything, and an awful lot about nothing.
