I beg to differ. I was no fan of Blair, but the current Tory government is absolutely blatant in its disregard for public service. Here's the latest example, from earlier today...

"Heartless Iain Duncan Smith today claimed people thanked him for taking their benefits away.
He was accused of "losing the plot" after making a string of increasingly bizarre claims about his department's cruel benefit sanctions regime.
The Tory Work and Pensions secretary said 75% of people who have had their benefits stopped under his department's cruel sanctions regime said it helped them "focus and get on."
A spokesperson for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) was not immediately able to back up Mr Duncan Smith's claim.
But the sister of ex-soldier David Clapson, who died starving and penniless after having his benefits stopped said: "I don't think my brother said it had helped him get on.""
P.S. I know the Mirror isn't the best news source, but in this case the evidence is pretty clear.
