      Typical Labour mismanagement. Set up a Quango, staff it with labour cronies, pay them massive salaries and final salary pensions. How on earth can this need 80 staff ?

        Reminds me of the Yes Minister "Efficiency Drive" episode where it cost more to find out whom to fire then the savings from the reduced headcount.

          How can it cost 180,000 odd just to look over one year's expenses for each person?

            You’ve got to pay people enough to make sure they vote labour.

              In other shock news, it was revealed that it costs more to run a police force than just to let people commit crimes.

              It is a shocking revelation that will amaze everyone: the cost of policing crime actually costs more than just letting criminals get away with it.

              The annual cost of running the police force will be several times more than the cost of just letting people break the law.

              Someone said: "Is this really value for money, when we could just let people get away with it? Why don't we just let everyone get away with it? It would cost less than having to try and stop people from doing this."

                But that point is just rubbish. It might cost more now but the option is to not have it and what would be the cost of crime then.

                That's just a pointless observation made by people wanting to shock without actually thinking about what they said.

                  Exactly - if you don't police, then crime increases. I'm not entirely sure why you think that the point you seem to be making is rubbish, though

                    It wouldn’t if criminals were made to pay for the damage they cause. Some chav in a nearby town in Holland went on a spree of cutting open car tyres with a knife at night and caused about e10,000 of damage in the space of three weeks. His punishment after he was caught red handed; 24 hours community service and a fine of 100 euros. Whhat objections can there be to making him do ‘community service’ at minimum wage until he’s paid for the damage?
