The real story here is that over the last 12 years of UK government, austerity policies have cut back all public services to the point where they don't actually exist.

Criminal Barristers are currently on strike because the legal aid system is so broken. Close to 10% of the entire country are currently on an NHS waiting list, with that number expected to continue to rise until atleast 2024. Meanwhile, the tax burden in the UK has reached it's highest point in 70 years - putting us in a similar position to the 1950s where the UK was paying back the debts from WW2. The Home Office has just announced that after years of failing to stop immigrants from reaching the UK by boarding small boats to cross the channel, the government has entirely abandoned its responsbility to grant asylum to asylum seekers and instead will pay millions of pounds to have Rwanda do it for us (in order to deter the immigrants that we've failed to stop crossing the channel, because we can't stop them crossing the channel).

Essentially we see this story repeatedly and the underlying question is "Why has no one actually investigated what seems to be an obviously illegal enterprise" and the answer is "Because we don't employ anyone to do that anymore".
