You'd have thought that Norwich City Council would have learnt a lesson from that, but they got caught again when Fountains went under a couple of years later.<br /><br />Maybe, one day, local and national government will see private contracts for public services for what they really are. A means to siphon off public money without any accountability.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941116624675227992.post-67010607454263154782014-07-09T06:01:06.840-07:002014-07-09T06:01:06.840-07:00It appears that IDS is in yet more trouble over hi...It appears that IDS is in yet more trouble over his Universal Cock-up scheme:<br /><br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-28225124<br /><br />Seemingly, the gist of the latest row is that Sir Bob Kerslake said that the Treasury has not agreed to provide yet more money for Universal Cock-up but IDS insists that it has. <br /><br />Judinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941116624675227992.post-31464012851484953932014-07-09T03:14:42.301-07:002014-07-09T03:14:42.301-07:00Can't see IDS moving jobs - if he does I will ...Can't see IDS moving jobs - if he does I will buy you all a drink in my local Public House!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941116624675227992.post-52958162997280693692014-07-09T02:25:38.982-07:002014-07-09T02:25:38.982-07:00I used to do door-to-door sales and telesales year...I used to do door-to-door sales and telesales years back. Double glazed windows, doors and conservatories, subscriptions to the local newspaper and more. If I and the team I worked with did not hit our target, we did not get our bonuses.<br /><br />If this is expected of a salesman / salesteam, then Cameron, Osborn and Smith need to explain just why it is acceptable for the W2W sector to miss key targets and STILL receive bonuses. <br /><br />Could it be the fact that Smith is loathed to see a major W2W provider pull out as this would effectively leave his much vaunted WP in serious trouble? Hence the throwing ever more monies at an unworkable system to satisfy a naked and bankrupt ideology.iMattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941116624675227992.post-11332597667611993822014-07-08T22:33:57.850-07:002014-07-08T22:33:57.850-07:00I have read this blog for a long time and this was...I have read this blog for a long time and this was predicted a long time ago,frustrated,annoyed?
