Re: Abolished public sector final salary pensions?     22-Nov-09 10:51 AM    
Money isn't the problem with the public sector. The real problem is the appalling quality of the work that is done by civil servants.

The French public sector is busy flogging trains and nuclear power stations round the world, can you imagine British civil servants ever doing that? No the UK had British Rail and Windscale.

This is not to say there are not many dedicated hard-working civil servants but they work in an environment where sustained high quality work is not possible.

So we have an army that became an international joke because it was so ill-equipped.
A police force that doesn't protect or convict.
Low standards of health care.
An out date expensive law system.
Increasingly corrupt local government.
I could go on…

Sadly, most of those involved seem to be above criticism, the brave lads in the army, the honest British Bobby are all doing a great job, aren't they? NHS is a national treasure, isn't it? Those silly wigs are a symbol of the rule of law rather than indicating how out of touch British law is, aren't they?
