Snip

If all council workmen were made to go self employed the job would be
done properly in half the time.



That may be true. The real answer is cancellation of final salary
pension schemes and mass sackings from local authorities.
Draconian measures like this are required to focuse the mind, There
is no point at all in fannying around at the edges. Sicing through
the carotid with immediate effect is needed.

I wouldn't go quite as far as that, but properly funded pensions in the
State sector must be created. The present mess of insufficiently funded
atate schemes being supported by the tax payer must be resolved.

Ideally by closing them all.
