If the cleaning was done by the NHS then it would be even worse. More people would die of the filth than the original problem.
From my experience, the whole of the NHS need to be replaced with a private scheme.

Why would a period of austerity bother a contractor? I only ask for water to be piped to my house, my bins to be collected, street lighting and the police to make an effort around my area. I pay more than enough for that.
A period of austerity is not going to hurt me.

Actually the real trick is to leave tossers like sas 'guru' here in the UK and for everyone else to go somewhere nice.
Sus 'guru' we will leave the light on for you, grow your own veg to eat with the rats etc. OK??

Austerity is more like, having a sensible car, and knowing if it breaks down you will have to give up eating meat to pay for the repairs.

Remove all the target and tick-box culture in the public sector and bye bye to 1,000,000 admin wonks - cheaper to stick them on the dole or on X-factor.

What you don't need are hordes of civil servants on £100K pa plus bonuses plus final salary pensions. You could cut a huge amount of spending on total tulipe and slash the benefits system to the core. Can't be bothered to work, fine, starve on the streets.
The simple solution to the pension deficit for all the public sector workers is to raise the pension age in Britain to 90. Most of them won't be claiming a penny. That's the pension problem solved.

The senior civil servants will keep their perks and gold-plated pensions.

Many of you think cutting public sector jobs is a good idea. But that means worse services for us on stuff we use like hospitals and schools.
