    Those of you on lucrative public sector contracts

    Are you worried the Conservatives might get in, cut the spending on these projects and make you unemployed?
    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

    Not especially. It's the £1800/day bloaters like EDS that suffer when people try and cut costs.

          There you go! Assuming 1 contractor can do the work of 10 EDS men, that's 2000 more contracts for us!

            Cuts in the public sector are a necessity, but they should and will fall on permies with their taxpayer subsidised pensions, unlimited sick leave, unaccountability and non-jobs.

              For once I agree with you - and I really hope that happens - history suggests otherwise, but we'll see.

                Perhaps this is Labours strongest card for re-election - now that their economic bundling has been labeled as the fault of the Piggies in the US - the vast amount of State workers who have been angry with their falling property prices (which now they realise was not the fault of Labour - ha ha !) may well yet win the election for Labour as they realise that their cushy State job will be no more should the Tories win -and make no mistake - cut they will.

                I therefore predict a narrow Labour victory.

                There - I bet that has made your day.

                    The truth hurts and the Pruffock Social Observatory rarely is wrong.

                    Three cheers for our economic saviour Gordon !
