“Mark, I doubt that those who are being made redundant will share your sentiments. And let's not forget that Council workers also comprise of teachers, bin men, dinner ladies, cleaners, etc. No-one knows yet who'll be affected (but it won't be those at the top)”

“Mac You've got a short memory havent you?
Labour and 'jobs for the boys'?
Can't you remember how the tories invented high paying jobs for their spouses and buddies and at the same time put millions out of work?
They went down in history for making the most millionairres into billionairres when they were in power. That's who they helped..
They preached greed was good, and look after yourself and s*d anyone else. They created a very selfish society and what we have today is the result! Use your head..”

“I used to work at the council for years and I saw a big difference between Labour and Tory councillors. Most of the Tory councillors could be very rude and thought they were above the rules. I remember one tory councillor in particular, driiving the wrong way round the roundabout on the council road (stupid idiot) and when a member of the public complained to her, because he and is little girl were crossing and obviously he did not expect a car coming in that direction, she told him to p**s off. He came straight to reception and told us and we told him who she was and he reported her but as far as I know he received no apology. And the councillor ended up in a very high position.”

“Amazing, no mention of a pay cut to our elected few. Perhaps Coun Collins can be the shining light and not have the new Audi A4 this year as promised !”

“Bad news for those about to be made redundant but I know the public sector and believe me, the vast majority of government jobs are meaningless exercises in red tape because there is nothing else for Brown's army of penpushers to do. The truth is that the government is so massive that it is suffocating it's own front line services, therefore, these redundancies and many more to come in the public sector are to be welcomed.”

“They can keep on cutting, as far as I'm concerned. Every Labour government ends up spending all our money and bankrupting us on hare-brained giveaways for the feckless masses and "jobs for the boys". Their cynical ploy is to make us many of us customers of the State as possible - either because we work for them in heavilt unionised jobs, or because we live off their handouts. It's tantamount to buying votes from society's least industrious and least talented.”

“ACarpenter
You've contradicted yourself there as an earlier post said you were struggling for Benefits for two years then said you both earned 76 grand? So how do you expect to get Benefits you moron? Plus I don't believe someone as boring as you has got a partner, your probably a balding, fat g*t who sits around playing World of Warcraft all day...
As for me, I don't brag about my wages, am quite happy processing claims for workshy fools like you...”

“A Carpenter, if what you say is true then I can't quite understand why you felt you still needed to claim benefits? And don't you think it just a little tactless considering there are many people worrying how they'll pay their mortgage, heat their homes and feed their families. As you said, you have no sympathy. I truly do feel sorry for you if money is the only thing that you have.”

“for the council i ment to say.
