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?
