    Mass (and I do mean - MASS) sackings across the private sector.

    Anyone who was employed via an ad in the Guardian? OUT.

    Anyone who is a "Special Advisor" to any of the political parties? OUT.

    Anyone who is not able to PROVE the benefit that they provide to society? OUT.

    Any head-of role (e.g., chief constable, chief executive of NHS trust...)? To be elected only.

    No ******* around, no redundancy payment - get out.

      Edit: And no pension either.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

          It makes you think doesn't it.
          Bloody hell. £180 billion is an annual deficit of 15% of GNP!

          Does anyone on here realise how serious that is? In the Euro-zone, the EU start taking action when a country reaches 3%!

          Our party of government is unbelievable. Bring back Denis Healey! All is forgiven!

            Eh? how do I prove that? I have real doubts about that one. I assume you mean public when you wrote "private" though.

              Oops. My bad.

              Sorry about that.

              e.g., if you're a strategy director for a local council - get tae ****.
