My tuppence
Back in the dim and distant past, a lot of civil servants left on a Friday and returned to the same client on the Monday as a contractor, this was basically a full team left and came back. Those CS left behind got bitter and twisted about it.The "I hate contractors" was on the last central government project, didn't matter who you were. The attitude included HPES (ex CS TUP'd out), the crazy thing was HPES were trying to get ex-CS's to train Indians to take over their own roles).Comment

Could do better, see me after class.
I was always taught to capitalise the G in grammar, when it followed English, or any other language. But then I studied English over 65 years ago and some old rules are being changed. (the use of a capital I in indian in a recent post elsewhere invited a six month ban for being racist!)
The old instruction of I before E except after C is clearly one which I was taught at junior school, but as we know there are as many exceptions as follow the rule. However, it's still being taught now to my grandchildren.
The point I'm making there is that it's very difficult to adjust to new rules, when such rules were imprinted early in an individual's life.
Note that the French don't use capital letters like we do, so whereas we would write French, they would write francais. (don't know how to include the cedilla here).Comment

When HMRC band numbers about I believe they include a made-up include number that groups together perimies who would go contracting but remain permie. So the clamp down is to also reverse the trend of of people leaving to go contracting. Now the tories are in full power they will be clamping down on permie rights so the tax without representation will become the next I'm for all.Make Mercia Great Again!Comment
