Snouts in the Trough

Apparently the disgraced Lord Browne, formerly of BP (Buggered Petroleum), is going to ‘help’ the government cut public spending. We can all see what Lord Browne’s cost-cutting (and corner-cutting?) did for BP. No doubt the Lord will have the same disastrous effect on our public services.

Anyway, given that  simply putting all public-sector managerial and administrative staff on a 4-day week, all quangos on a 3-day week and instituting a maximum public-sector pension of say £20,000 a year will demolish the deficit, why is the government wasting time and money on yet another so-called expert?
