I think if you're just another cog in the system, you're more likely to just tick the boxes, since you only see your own tiny little bit of a process. But if you personally, literally have something invested in it, you're going to be a bit more careful how you throw money around. The question is, how to get some of that prudence transferred into a huge public organisation, which undoubtedly gives us some great benefits.

For starters, remove quotas on civil service numbers because you end up paying private industry a fuckload more than if you had the ability to do stuff like that in house. |
Can you explain that in more depth? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

the individual may be paid similar or slighly more than an equivelent civil servant but on top of that the contractor wants to offset their overhead and have a profit on top. |
If there is an underspend from the budget, are they paying the right people to do the jobs? Could more use of that budget attract better quality manpower? In other words Nobby, are you crap at your job?

That's not really fair.

It's a handy, narrative, claiming the media are just out to get Trump.
He's had 4 years to:
a) Be gotten by them
b) Get them back
c) Pre-emptively get them before they get him
None of that has happened.
It seems to me that the blame-the-media line is just another "la la la I'm not listening" head-in-the-sand deflection from real truths and criticisms aimed at him. Sure, not all of it is correct, but that's how it goes for most politicians at the top of the food chain. Trump is known widely for being a not-very-nice person to work with or do business with, his tax returns are still unknown, and he got way too close for comfort in the whole Jeffrey Epstein case, plus his personality on the whole is just awful. He's an easy target for the media, and even if you ignore the media aspect completely it's just obvious he isn't a particularly nice person and has no real interest in making America great again. He just wanted to get to the top, playing kings and queens, a bit like our own charlatan Boris Johnson. Anyone who supports Trump is just a sucker to the most obvious form of populism there is. I for one cannot wait for a return to boring politics as usual, where sensible and boring anoraks talk about boring politicsy things while the plebs are left to play merrily among themselves. |
