That article says that the increase was due to Brexit, then Covid19. No explanation for "since covid19", but things like a lack of stable trading relationships etc could explain some of it.

Not sure why you would need to recruit more civil servants for that. The article doesn't mention it.

If the goalposts need to move regularly, you need a team to move the goalposts.
Also, not all civil servants are penpushers.
The civil service jobs in my area include, health and safety advisor, contract manager, litigation caseworker, MoD Guard, Trainee Psychologist (HM Prisons), Senior Ops Manager NCA, Serology Officer (Animal and Plant health), Intelligence Analyst, Traffic Examiner (DVLA), IT manager, Technical Architect (National Archives) and that's just page 1.

This would be in the CS Irony thread. Poles going back home and taking their skills and money with them, thanks to the EU. Bastards.

Nor does the person asking the question. Most likely reason is the he doesn't want to believe it - unless somebody has a better explanation.

The graph shows 20% in real terms. He is talking about about another dataset which includes inflation. As one of the replies indicates that's been high and is nearly half of his 50%. I don't understand why someone would look at those figures.

I think this is probably sensible... a bit of riding roughshod over locals seems to be justified.

From the comments, I cannot but help thinking this is the real issue.
"Let's get one thing clear, we have NO shortage of water in this part of the world, so any shortages we face are purely down to inadequate storage.
Our water bills are eyewatering for a country that has an abundance of water. Something is wrong."
Won't be long until we are complaining about flooding.
