  4. The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool. After you've not fooled yourself, it's easy not to fool other people.

Working practices have been revolutionised; organisations radically restructured; pay and conditions dramatically changed. Teachers, nurses, ambulance drivers, doctors, local authority workers and fire-fighters have all felt bracing blasts of government-driven change. The big exception has been the police.
