The CSA
As anyone who has had any involvement with the CSA will tell you, it is the source of more marital dispute and upset than almost anything else.
Computer systems don't work; absent parents don't get chased for money; parents with care never see what they are entitled to; the amount taken from one parent doesn't equate to the amount received by the other.
In short, a mess. No wonder supposedly about one-third of all MPs mail is about the CSA.
So how do Labour sort this mess out?
Simple. The boss of the CSA is made a Commander of the Order of the Bath (a what??) ; Tony Blair tells us he has 'resigned'; and now we find he is simply 'moving on' at some time in the futute, in the best traditions of the old boy network to a new (and better paid) post. The Civil Servants must be quacking in their boots at such strong leadership.
New Labour = New Tories
