Those of you on lucrative public sector contracts

[ratewhore]

Some high-profile public sector programmes cannot be dropped...

They will have to given the Debtors prisons will be overflowing - hmm that could be another area of Public expansion for the re-elected Labour party.

Haven't had debtors prisons since the Victorian age. If we did, they'd soon be full of disgraced by-to-letters.

WHS

Besides, my work is related to criminal justice; the Tories may actually increase spending in this area

Not especially. It's the £1800/day bloaters like EDS that suffer when people try and cut costs.

Aye OS

The truth hurts and the Pruffock Social Observatory rarely is wrong.

Three cheers for our economic saviour Gordon !

Cuts in the public sector are a necessity, but they should and will fall on permies with their taxpayer subsidised pensions, unlimited sick leave, unaccountability and non-jobs.

Perhaps this is Labours strongest card for re-election - now that their economic bundling has been labeled as the fault of the Piggies in the US - the vast amount of State workers who have been angry with their falling property prices (which now they realise was not the fault of Labour - ha ha !) may well yet win the election for Labour as they realise that their cushy State job will be no more should the Tories win -and make no mistake - cut they will.

I therefore predict a narrow Labour victory.

There - I bet that has made your day.

For once I agree with you - and I really hope that happens - history suggests otherwise, but we'll see.

There you go! Assuming 1 contractor can do the work of 10 EDS men, that's 2000 more contracts for us!

If it's true I'm voting Tory...

They are suffering already I think as they just had 20000 odd jobs cut afaik

Are you worried the Conservatives might get in, cut the spending on these projects and make you unemployed?
