No, def waste these daysThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

"The department now wants its own staff to develop their skills by outward secondment work alongside the IT contractor."
Great. Why should the taxpayer spend £600/week on Joe Taxman of the Inland Revenue when it could be spending £1600/day on Joe Taxman of Cap Gemini?Comment

You see this is precisely what hacks me off. I mean, good luck to scooby for doing well, but in general most govt projects are a "good doss" because they are poorly spec'd (mucho changes = £££££ to the contractor) and poorly performance managed (££££££s wasted, contractor breathes sigh of relief).Originally posted by scoobygood doss, 18mths away from home, nice bonus!

If this govt would spend as much time getting the basics right with its large projects as the HMRC does in pursuing stuff like Arctic, it might actually save a few ££££s. And who knows, it might then even relax its tax agenda (stupid thought, eh?)."My God, it's huge!!"
