Except for one thing...

Accountability.  If I was a British ratepayer, I'd be rightfully livid to
know that the money I spend is going into tripe like that.

Then there is the matter of Government involvement.

And so on, and so on.

Sometimes you wind up on a project that's a loss from the beginning, and
you're left with no choice but to do the production and let the client
waste their money.  (Sorry, but that's the way it's done.)

But when it's public or public-works monopoly money that's paying for the
work...?  Shouldn't that be held to a higher standard?
