Comments

WARNING WARNING WARNING
Remember - ALL PUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYEES ARE TEACHERS AND NURSES!!!!
no one else is employed by councils. there are no 5 a day co-ordinaters, equality managers, street scene supervisors and billions of non-entity pen pushers. No, they are all teachers and nurses.
ps - most teachers aren't even fit to do the job.0 -

Perhaps you should consider the wishes of the other inhabitants of the UK, afterall we are a democracy. In one poll after another more than 50% of those polled want education and the NHS protected from this action.

i wasn't included in that poll - i bet millions of others weren't included either. the poll is meaningless.
everyone, except lefties and public sector workers (mostly one and the same) want a cull. as sir gerry robinson said - there should be no sacred horses! the nhs is completely inefficient - possibly because of so many employees. it is the 4th largest employer in the world!!!!! As a population we are 22nd in the world yet our health service is the 4th largest employer in the world? how does that work.
How many employees are actually nurses and doctors?
after having spent hours in an a&e waiting room the other week, I would glady pay to not have to sit with the scum and dregs of society. also, why should people, clearly the worse for wear from booze, be seen before a pregnant woman?
The nhs is a good concept but just very badly and inefficiently run. if the staff worked harder, and actually did their job rather than red tape nonsense, it would work just as well with 30% less people at least.0 -
I'm afraid the public sector workers have it coming to them, and - because of their arrogant attitude of the last eighteen months - noone in the private sector will feel any sympathy for them now.
The private sector has been decimated; there have been no sacred cows for us. When the private sector dared to question the better pay, better pensions and general unaccountability of the public sector by comparison, the public sector brigage in here got all defensive and talked about their rights.
Well, it's your turn now, pals. And I for one think it's about time.
Meanwhile, i will be hiring two new staff in the New Year. I shall be discarding all those I see with public sector experience on their cvs. I don't want any anorak-wearing timeservers in my team.0 -

Aint that the truth!
I've been taken on for one thing; 3 years later I'm there doing something quite different.
I avoid mentioning the specifics of what I do here because it's not easily understandable, and once you do understand it you cease to care
This idea that all contractors are expensive to public or private business is inaccurate too. Generally, I think consultants can be because they have lofty self expectations.
But with contractors, you can take them on at short notice, and dispense with them equally quickly. Stuff like training, pension provision, sickness and maternity leave, doesn't apply.0 -
On the NHS front, it sounds like they will be taking an axe to that hugely expensive NHS IT project. Andy Burnham was muttering about making 500m savings.
It will be expensive getting out of some of these contracts they have signed though.0 -
It is badly managed by ex private sector executives brought in by Maggie's lot who don't have a clue, as a result, there are now far more chiefs than indians in the NHS. You obviously agree with me since red tape is brought in by managers.The_White_Horse wrote: »i (I) wasn't included in that poll - i(I) bet millions of others weren't included either. t(T)he poll is meaningless.

At last something worth saying
a(a)fter having spent hours in an a&e waiting room the other week, I would glad(l)y pay to not have to sit with the scum and dregs of society. a(A)lso, why should people, clearly the worse for wear from booze, be seen before a pregnant woman? I don't know why you bothered to go to a doctors' you can obviously DIY far better. In future stay away, you're obviously a malingerer anyway, so that I don't have to sit with the likes of you. Someone who is, in your biggoted opinion, clearly the worse for booze was probably suffering from something totally differrent and pregnancy is a totally normal and natural function not a reason to see a doctor.
The nhs (NHS) is a good concept but just very badly and inefficiently run. if the staff worked harder, and actually did their job rather than red tape nonsense, it would work just as well with 30% less people at least.
I have corrected your spelling and grammar, it just goes to show we obviously need more teachers.The only thing that is constant is change.0
