Perhaps they should offshore them to Rwanda

Relocate and provide jobs, win, win.

Vote winner if ever saw one.

Do you think removing one in five of the staff will improve things?

Well, I don’t think that having even more people doing the same old thing, will, necessarily improve the situation.

Has anyone suggested that? I thought the intention was to shed one in five jobs, not expand the headcount.

I agree, of course. An intelligent approach would be to design and build slick systems for us lot to use and then see how many staff could be spared. Not just taking out the axe.

But that would require thought, planning and good execution. Not something this government seem interested in. (Although Priti might like the idea of executions).

Sadly, in my lifetime, I don’t recall a single Government which has been capable of effective and efficient change. Local Government is no better, perhaps, if it is possible, even worse.
