Is it just me, or is the big issue of the day nothing to do with MPs expenses, the Michael Jackson legacy or the crass shot KP played at Cardiff in the cricket today, but everything to do with public sector pay and jobs?
The private sector has paid dearly for Government incompetence and banking greed. With our national finances in a horrifying state, should the government not be doing what everybody else has had to do - cut jobs?
It can cut thousands of jobs it should never have created in the first place - jobs which give bureaucrats and target driven managers, not fit to ladder a nurse’s stocking, copper-bottomed pensions paid for by us, while everybody else’s pension goes to hell in a handcart. Jobs whose very function is to wrap red tape round private sector entrepreneurs and wealth creators, who are drowning in crazy nanny state legislation.
Everybody assumes that the most inept government in living memory is bound to be thrown out at the next election. But will the millions on the public payroll, despite the good ones recognising Labour’s contempt for voters, the party’s downright lies and what a global embarrassment Gordon Brown is, actually tick the Tory box, knowing they could be signing their own redundancy?
Not to mention the benefit cheats, perfectly happy wallowing in government ineptitude and picking up their cheques, funded by a private sector totally betrayed. Oh and mention so much as a pay freeze, yet alone cut, to a public sector union and they threaten strikes.
Amid the debris of 12 years of Labour misrule, Brown has created an Army of his own, made up of millions whose pay cheques are signed by Government., be they the fat CEO of a pointless quango counting beans, or a slacker choosing the dole over a hard day’s graft. Turkey’s don’t vote for christmas even when faced with a government most fowl.
