In a dazzling display of self-congratulation, the Civil Service has once again patted itself on the back at the annual awards ceremony. This year's standout was Pauline MacNeil from the Ministry of Justice, who clinched the Prime Minister’s Award for Exceptional Public Service. Her leadership during the summer's street violence, while commendable, raises eyebrows about the systemic issues that allowed such crises to escalate in the first place.

The event, held at Lancaster House, showcased the Civil Service's knack for turning routine responsibilities into award-winning feats. While the ceremony lauded various departments for their 'innovations' and 'excellence,' one can't help but wonder if these accolades are merely gilded participation trophies in the grand play of public service.
"HMP Wayland: Where Literary Greatness Meets a Packet of Walkers Crisps"

Ah, HMP Wayland—a charming spot on the map where dreams go to die, and apparently, bestselling novels get written. It’s here that renowned author Jeffrey Archer penned his second prison diary, Purgatory, offering the world a glimpse of life behind bars in one of the UK’s most infamous Category C prisons. Of course, he failed to mention the real rite of passage at Wayland: getting stabbed in the back over a packet of Walkers crisps. Nothing says “rehabilitation” like trading bodily harm for a bag of ready salted.
Wayland proudly holds its reputation as one of the country’s most dangerous Category C establishments—a badge of honour, if you will. Forget book clubs and creative writing workshops; the real art form here is mastering the fine balance of survival. Whether it’s dodging flying kettles or avoiding the latest culinary war over a stolen pot noodle, inmates have plenty of material to fuel the next great prison epic.
Archer's Purgatory may have painted Wayland as a grim and reflective space, but locals know it better as the place where every hallway doubles as a potential crime scene, and snacks are worth their weight in gold. Who needs character-building activities when you’ve got a daily dose of adrenaline and betrayal over the canteen trolley?
