The reality of UK government cuts

[Xamonas Chegwé]

Sooooooooooo... things move on.

It seems if we apply for 'voluntary redundancy' we get 150% of the lump sum we would if we are made 'compulsorily redundant', more or less.

I am putting my application in this week. Three hundred people will be 'shed' from the service as of late February.

Government policy in action folks!

Thanks for your hard work and service rum in the public sector, I have appropriated folk like your self who have worked for the good of of us lesser beings.

Well put, Pen.

So when's the party, Rum?

Oops - didn't notice your misappropriation there, mate!

By no means 'lesser beings' mate! I am very conscious, whatever some of the righties here might say, that it is people's taxes which pay my wages. It is I who should thank the likes of you who have paid my mortgage!

Services will be far worse in the coming months and indeed years. I have seen the writing on the wall having been a party to some of the planning for the new cut-down services (talk about turkeys planning Christmas!).

The sad thing is that the vulnerable will always get hammered in times like this.

Sounds like a wise move. Take care and enjoy many good years of healthy retirement!

And, repeating a question already asked by someone else: when and where is the party?
