But who in the private sector would employ that some consider to be "incompetent, sloping-shouldered, feckless, chair-polishing, oxygen thieves holding back those who are capable of doing the job"?

I spent 6 years in the civil service. During which time I often harboured dark fantasies about how things would be run in my office if I had full autonomy. It basically involved cutting the headcount by about 60% and increasing the salaries of the remaining productive staffers (including me obvs) to increase motivation.
Overmanning is pretty much endemic in government. My job latterly was paid for 45 hours but I could very easily have done it in 15, which was why I left. On handing in my resignation letter, I said to my line manager that there was no need to replace me as the job was more or less redundant but they did anyway and there’s been someone there ever since, about 10 years now.

Loads of that in the private sector as well.
Rees Moggy is a hero, that's true. Not quite as heroic as Sir Nige Farage
...........but.......I notice you've voted in a terrorist group to lead in NI. Very strange. And by strange, I do of course mean disgraceful........

That’s the main reason for ELMS. To keep civil servants busy when BPS ends.
As dad used to say, when the Tsar fell, his henchmen joined the Communist Party. The same old snouts in the trough, just a different coloured flag.

As someone who has spent the last 9 months waiting for an individual to press a couple of buttons in the private sector , I suspect there is very little to choose between Public and private. The difference is in the public , I would have been offered compensation in the private there is no hope at all of getting back the £5-6K I have lost thanks to sheer bloody incompetence
I didn’t even have a vote. If I did have one in the fourth green field, I would have lent it to Alliance / SDLP / UUP in that order.Rees Moggy is a hero, that's true. Not quite as heroic as Sir Nige Farage

It has not become normal. I disagree with him there. I take his point about it appearing in a bill of rights but it is still a freedom that must be protected. The alternatives are just too hideous to comtemplate.

He has always been against abortion come what may and has said that for years. He has said however he would never campaign for abortion to be banned.

A bit ironic given how many of them were only employed to implement EU legislation in the first place.

I initially thought that was a reply to the post directly above it and was about to give an upvote.
Then realised.
