Originally posted by RichardCranium View PostThe new Office of Redundancy Investigation Office (ORIFFICE) have not completed their initial studies so the Quango Evaluation and Assessment Committee (QUEAR) has not been able to sit. The terms of reference for the Bonfire of the Lazy Objectionable Buggers (BLOBS) has not been released by the external consultancy consortium that are writing them, so they are not ready either.
To investigate the delays the government is forming a new Delay Reduction, Eradication and Annulment Department (DREAD). It should complete its principal activities early in 2016.
Etc.

He's right. Aren't we running a shortfall (ie deficit) of £150 billion a year? It's going to take a lot more cuts to get rid of that deficit! If anything the government has been too relaxed in its first year, and hasn't done nearly enough to promote growth in the private sector to compensate.
Expect to see Scotland jump ship within 2 years - they will feel (rightly or wrongly) that they will be able to promote growth better than Westminster.

Doom and Gloom: Clarke warns over scale of cuts
linky:
The middle classes still do not understand the scale of the Government spending cuts about to hit them, Justice Secretary Kenneth Clarke said today.
In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, he warned that the coalition was going to face "some political difficulty" as people began to grasp just how hard they would be hit.
