I think the estimates that 28,000 jobs will be going from the police force is worth a bit of news coverage.
How many companies in the UK even have 28,000 employees?

And that's after the cuts we made two years ago.
These public sector nonces have such a cushy ride, NakedApe. They deserve a towelling.

And we've become so inured to their utter uselessness
that we don't even expect them to do any work. It's not that they've only started needing to cut jobs two years after the private sector, it's that it took two years for their tax-funded, complacent managers to notice that they were losing money.

admin people in the public sector (ie not medics or teachers)
generally work v easy hours compared to the rest of us in the private sector, eg courts and councils work from 10-4. 10-4?? christ! and they get things like flexi-time, which we'd get laughed out of any private office for suggesting. THEN they have the nerve to whinge about being "busy" and earning a lower wage...

if you don't like it, don't moan, go and get a job in the more cut-throat world where the rest of us have to live. then see how much you feel like moaning about your previous cushty working lifestyle.
