I had a conversation with a group of Local Authority workers yesterday. Interesting chat. All could comment with authority on their importance. This committee, that policy achievement, blah, blah, blah.
Once you scrape below the surface it was obvious to me they actually have no useful marketable skills whatsoever and would be close to unemployable in the real world.
There is a whole parallel universe out there where your ability to add value is irrelevant. It left me depressed.
I know from the Guardian that these people are on a good package with gold-plated pensions, comfortable working hours, no stress, jobs for life (unless you lower your trousers in the workplace and sing Rule Britannia)
It left me thinking, who is the fool ?
