Public servant critics please not -> "Contradicting saloon-bar wisdom, which says public jobs are safe, the public sector will not be immune from waves of redundancies, with unions warning of more than 5,000 planned job losses among town hall workers alone. They could be the tip of the iceberg as councils face tough financial settlements from central government."

As far as I'm concerned, I'm not interested in local government cuts which only serve to reduce local public services.
I want to see heads rolling in central government. Anything less is unacceptable.

'Merry Christmas and a Happy New year'. Hollow words for all the poor sods about to be made redundant, loose their businesses, have their houses repossessed, be made bankrupt, watch their savings income collapse and then be told by the likes of a Liebour minister to be grateful.

Paul,
There's plenty of fat in local government too.
For both local and central government, the workers themselves work reasonably hard (no worse than private sector). However the difference is what tasks they are given: a middle manager can be as hard-working as you like, but still not needed.

This of course will be carefully engineered to maintain the voting bias.
