    Conservatives loath waste

    Originally posted by David Cameron
    Conservatives loathe waste. Efficiency is in our DNA. We never forget that fundamental fact about public money, which is that it's public.

    Edit: Oh how embarrassing, I've spelt loathe wrong.

    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

    1 duck house = 1750 quid (paid back)
    Housing the unemployed for a year = 17,500,000,000 quid


    Of course the duck pond spend is much more important a topic.

              It was the irony that amused me. I wasn't trying to make a political point, other than pointing out that they all seem to think we are idiots with very short memories.

              What amuses me most about government IT projects is that the UK civil service project management methods are hailed as best practice and everyone rushes to adopt them.

                I have not done a productive days work at clientCo financial for about 3 months, I'm tutorialed out now. Yet they are still paying me and I will be payed for another 4 months. Waste is endemic in this country.

                Ironically 10% of what I earn goes back into clientCo for my pension which seems to be a waste again looking at the fun dgrowth rates. I am wasting what I earn on waste.
