Slim down the fat cats
There has been waste on an epic scale as public sector managers have gorged on the torrent of cash
When Gordon Brown turned on the public spending taps seven years ago, there was general delight at the end of years of underspending on public services. But some of us warned of the dangers of giving overgenerous awards without reforms that would ensure taxpayers’ cash was spent wisely. And so it came to pass. There has been waste on an epic scale as public sector managers have gorged on the torrent of cash. Improvements in public services did occur, but they were hardly value for money when compared with the tens of billions of pounds poured in.

There was one consequence that was harder to spot at the time: the rise of the public sector fat cat. Today we report research from the TaxPayers’ Alliance, a group which campaigns for the aims of “lower taxes and better governmentâ€

That'll never happen. Once an inquiry looking into whether Crozier is value for money, came to the inevitable conclusion that he isn't,
Brown would have no option but to sack him. Where would that leave the "jobs for the boys" system? How would useless twats like Crozier get any
other appointments if they're dependent on having a good CV? I mean, Crozier has made quite a good living out of being an ignominious failure, of
being one of Britain's most highly paid businessmen, and not actually possessing an ounce of business acumen. I'm afraid we're stuck with the clutz
until he's rewarded for incompetence yet again, and he leaves RM, to go and bollox up some other "business."

Seems like there's some boy's club to play pretend capitalism for Gordon or B-liar before that , with the unelected quangos or something that's neither one thing or the other like Royal Fail .

Dirty Harry is spot on , can you imagine :lfo & :cfo at a Shareholder's meeting ? , more like a Shareholder's revolt . :lfo & :cfo must be laughing all the way to the bank as they have it both ways .

The Railways are something else , for some reason subsidy has gone up by 3-5 times from the old BR Military Style Command Structure

Private Eye's "Doing the Rounds " can be full of stories about NHS Trust's paying up their Senior /Executive managers and then they walk into something else more lucrative . That comes from Splitting the NHS into 400 parts which means more layers & beaurocracy & of course jobs for the boys . No wonder they're so touchy about criticisim of management on Comment On This sections , can't kill the goose that lays the golden egg can you now ?
