500,000 Public Sector Workers Culled

amcluesent

With the confiscatory tax regime for the 'squeezed middle', being officially "unwaged" in 2011 makes a lot of sense. Working 'on the black' is starting to look very attractive.

Don't worry though! The INDEPENDENT Office of Budget Responsibility stated that the Private Sector will create 1m more jobs over the next 4 years of economic mess than it generated in 10 years of boom. Ignore the tug of sanity in your brain asking how this is possible. Ignore Price Waterhouse Cooper and their 1m jubs CUT prediction. Ignore the HR Institutes claiming that their members are planning to shed jobs. Ignore all the facts and figures pointing out the negative impact on the private sector from shedding so much public spending.

They're all wrong. The INDEPENDENT OBR said so. Just wait and see.

From the Guardian Article

The government hopes that the private sector will keep its promise to take up the slack in the labour market caused by the large shedding of public sector jobs.

Did I miss something when did the private sector promise this?

It'll be a blood bath mate. The Tory's couldn't organise a bun fight in a bakery.

Great news for the economy! We have a deficit largely caused by a big drop in tax revenues caused by the recession!

Wrong! The deficit is caused by cataclysmic, and massive over-spending.

We had a million people taken out of work, no longer paying taxes, no longer buying things which are taxable, from shops and businesses who pay taxes on their profits who employ further people wo pay taxes and so on. 1m people turned from tax payers to welfare recipients.

But 800,000 extra clowns in "Public Service", coupled with offensively large pay rises in the Public Sector. Where is the dramatic fall in sales you allude to?

So whizzo plan - lets cut half a million more. They in turn will cost at least the same again from the private sector. Yippee! Another million or more no longer paying taxes and spending money! That'll sort us out!

No, let's cut 800,000 at the very least. Then we can have some real cuts on top.

OK, find me a breast-feeding coordinator on £40k. Did you read this in the same newspaper that found a London bus on the moon? Why come out with this asinine !!!!!!!!?

Actual jobs advertised by one of the London councils earlier this year. I think it was Hackney. Google it.

When I mentioned it at the time, another poster found the exact ads.

Here we go . . read the job specification. This is a current ad. I'll look forward to your apology.

Lets not talk about the lack of breast feeding support across the NHS in violation of their own and WHO policies. Nor about the money-saving benefits that healthier breast-fed babies bring to the NHS by being ill less.
