I think I may buy this book, then have an argument next time someone from the Labour Party visits

But it takes a lot of money to finance a deeply corrupt administration - all those businesses lobbying MPs, all those honourary directorships, all that pretend tendering...
It won't abate because of the publishing of the odd expose especially when most of the public take our 'western' government at face value and believe that the system is largely above-board.

Besides, we all know what Labour have done, and we all know that it would be better to vote for a cow turd than for Labour.

Just think: if they spent the NHS managers and consultants budget on cleaners wandering around the hospitals with a mop and bucket, they wouldn't need the managers and consultants, also they'd need less Doctors and Nurses, which again would mean less managers and consultants...
It ain't rocket science.
There again we're engineers, not gobsh1te politicians..

How to spend £1,229,100,000,000
£72.6m The cost of running the
General Medical Council (GMC) in 2007,
up from £20m in 1997.
£722m The total annual cost of the
various bureaucrats employed by the
state to ensure we receive good
healthcare – more than double the 1997
sum. Labour’s 1997 manifesto promised
to “cut out unnecessary administrative
costs” and spend money on frontline
care instead.
£600m The amount spent on
management consultancy fees by the
NHS.That’s £15,000 for each manager the
NHS actually employs. Each of these
managers is responsible for an average
of five beds.
£800m The sum spent every year by
the NHS on agency nurses.
£24,500 The highest salary a Police
Community Support Officer (PCSO) can
earn. In 2006-2007 a study of 2,454
PCSOs showed they dealt with a total of
384 crimes (which equates to an average
of one each every six years). Real police
officers (starting salary £21,000) deal with
66 times more crimes.
£23,636 The average office cost per
employee at the Ministry of Defence
headquarters in London.The salary for a
new soldier comes in at just over £15,000
a year.
£180,000 The top head teacher salary.
More than 220 head teachers in the UK
earn more than £100,000.
£500m The cost of the Government’s
literacy programme, a review of which
showed that standards have barely
improved since the 1950s, says Craig.
£40,000 The cost of holding one
prisoner for one year.The prison
population has risen from around 65,000
in 1997 to around 89,000 now.
