HAVING read the article (£2 million cutbacks, August 2), it seems to me that the one department which has, and still appears to be flourishing in Blaenau Gwent, is the one that, allegedly , comprises of one room, and two desks.
 

The first employs people into highly paid, obscure posts, known as the ‘ Make Up a Post and Waste Money’ Dept’. And the second, ‘ The Gobbledegook, and Make a Name for Obscure Depts. Department.’ These departments are in direct opposition to ‘ The Cancelling of Obscure Posts and Give Away a Lot of Money Doing It Department’.
Posts that have existed for many years now suddenly are superfluous and will not be missed, which begs the question: What have they been doing up to now ? This Dept is likely to save £2 million? It’ll possibly be put on the budget of the first department. I’m feeling giddy!
