"Jim Hacker: The Daily Mirror is read by the people who think they run the country.

The Guardian is read by people who think they *ought* to run the country.

The Times is read by the people who actually *do* run the country.

The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country.

The Financial Times is read by people who *own* the country.

The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by *another* country.

The Daily Telegraph is read by the people who think it is.

Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?

Bernard Woolley: Sun readers don't care *who* runs the country - as long as she's got big tits. "

Classic...

Listen very carefully - I will say this only once.....

I see a flaw in your plan.

There seems to be some sort of problem with the photograph of Gideon in that article.

He doesn't seem to have "Twat" tattooed in big letters on his forehead.

Is this some form of censorship?

[ChadGates]

Agreed. I will not believe it until I read it in the telegraph.

it was on the front page of the telegraph yesterday. PSC loop hole to be closed for public sector contractors.
Sunday Herald in Scotland has been running a campaign on the same issue --Student Loans being run by a cabal of highly paid contractors being the focus of their ire

They can't get permanent staff or people who want fixed term contracts so what are they going to do?

They can't get permanent staff or people who want fixed term contracts so what are they going to do?

a) Increase the rates/salaries until they do get the people.

b) Quietly forget about the whole thing and carry on as before.

c) Put the whole lot out to tender and allow IBM, WIPRO, Infosys, Accenture to bid for a mere 2 - 3 times the current running cost.

A mix of B and C with randomly trying A to prove no one who can do the job wants it.

Some government departments do this already but they use smaller consultancies.

I explained what the suggested fix over IR35 is going to mean to one of my ex civil service colleagues over a beer this evening. Their response was: yeah I'm sure that's what they want, but their isn't anyone in the department that could competently make the decision. Any attempt would end up with a highly paid legal representative driving a bus over them.

They have already overruled the maximum payoff edict that was put out to stop long serving members of staff getting more than 95k in payouts. That too was noted to be a fail just waiting for the right legal team and not worth the court costs to lose so there is some common sense hidden in this mess

Forget 'Paxman' - Nationalise Employment Agencies

The government are not following the real money.
They should forget the minnows, and go after the sharks.

Get rid of agencies and have a single government recruitment agency.
They really could not be any worse than the existing ones.

Gov-Jobs then charges a flat rate that goes back into the public purse, credited against corporation tax.

Win win for government and contractors
