CAN anyone tell me how the conmen of our current rulers the Lib/ Tory coalition are reducing the deficit in our economy, when they have spent £287 million making thousands of civil servants redundant and replacing them with highly paid consultants and underpaid temporary workers costing us up to £800 million. A false economy, surely?
How many of these consultants are the very people who were made redundant,hired at twice the price to do the same jobs.I expect the sick the pensioners and the working poor will be expected to pay for this in the long run.
