How has so much respect been lost?

The groups respected most in the past have, in the eyes of the people, lost most respect today. Politicians; Judges and the legal profession; Police; Social and Children's Services; Civil Servants; even Doctors, Nurses and Carers. How did this happen and can it be put right? It happened because the evil of money came into the public sector and pushed out vocation. Accountants and their targets, controls and budgets are more important than the needs of real people. The worst crime, yes it is a crime in my eyes, is the outsourcing of services for profit. Profit and Vocation do not make good bedfellows. We want to change all this. No outsourcing, no profit motive, no bonus culture, no political interference. Instead, we'll trust and value front-line deliverers above bureaucrats and above government, too, and give the people we all serve the biggest voice.
