Rogers left the civil service in 2006 to become Head of the UK Public Sector Group at Citigroup. In 2010 Rogers transferred to be Head of the Public Sector Industry Group, UK and Ireland, at Barclays Capital from 2010 to 2011.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Former Gravy Train Operative urges toy-throwing!
I meet this Sir Ivan type in work all the time. They think they know it all, and because they have a few years experience it makes them right. Then you suggest improvements and ways of doing things differently and they come up with a thousand reasons why it won't work.
But ask them for ideas and they come up with tulip, and the world keeps on spinning to the same old tulip. Then you manage to get passed these monolithic road blocks and suddenly start making huge improvements and a real difference.
Teresa May wants a UK deal, a good deal, a deal better than Norway and Switzerland. Fook yeah! That's the way you make things happen - you have to go in with ideas, and passion, and put the bar as high as you can stretch.Comment

If he's like a couple of former managers I've worked with in the PS who worked in a similar way as they know they are employable in the private sector so they simply don't take tulip if the powers that be have stupid ideas."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
