Come on...you know that if they created a super fast and efficient service that there would be no reason to retain the 50,000 extra state servants since brownie came to power (and all this inspite of 40,000 supposedly being put out to pasture in last years budget! ).

MP demands fraudster deportation

Sungaradazzo Mudgyiwa stole the identity of a woman from Wales

An MP is calling for a fraudster who stole more than £100,000 in benefits to be deported.
Sungaradazzo Mudgyiwa, from Zimbabwe, is back in the council house in Whitstable, Kent, where she was living before her conviction in 2004.

Local MP Julian Brazier said he backed the trial judge who said Mudgyiwa, who has served a year in jail, should be deported on her release.

The Home Office said people were not currently being returned to Zimbabwe.

Mr Brazier, Conservative MP for Canterbury and Whitstable, said: "A court has recommended she should be deported and it is time the Home Office did it.

Bit more than 50,000 Mailman: at current rates they are recruiting 50,000 new state employees every 125 days. Current estimates are for 360,000 extra state employees in the period 2003-2006.

Have you ever thought this is a very far sighted policy by the govt? They are taking up the slack caused by the inevitable hollowing out of the middle class due to globalization. Eventually we'll all work for the public sector.
Personally, I am angling for a post as the Tower Hamlets Senior Outreach Worker for Nubile Nymphomaniacs.
