Hasn't there been a "pre-budget" annoucement of 15Bn of "efficiency savings" with an emphasis that these are not cuts.Originally posted by CheeseSlice View Post'Anyone' in the public sector ??
Or maybe on Wednesday Darling will announce that he has to lay off 20% of civil servants to contain the spiraling public funding deficit.
FFS, either
a) These are cuts - in which case be honest about it
b) There is fat to be trimmed, in which case who's to blame for allowing the fat to develop in the first place - why weren't these savings made years ago.
