Re: Incompetent Civil Servants have cost us £150 Million

my point is, if you missed it, that that amount is peanuts to the amount the government spend every year.Maybe that is clearer for you!

They waste far more on paying out dole money to those who could be working instead

There are thousands of jobs out there. if not in employment in self employed instead.

Jobs such as window cleaning to gardening etc. I even came across jobs like oven cleaning to name but a few

So if, as you say 'its peanuts', then why don't YOU pay the exchequer the equivalent amount!!!

Now that just shows you up UJ, by making stupid remarks.
As they put in school end of term reports, "could do better"

Re: Incompetent Civil Servants have cost us £150 Million

We are in real trouble here due to incompetence like that, half built tower blocks no one really wanted, finance director of the council gone missing, councilors making decisions without the consent of the public. Town centres a mess of construction and cranes and it's costing millions just for the scaffolding each month.
