Unfortunately we all know that it won't be these that go, they will offload the cuts onto departments and areas that cannot be cut any further without people losing their jobs.
Our local borough has already told it's departments to make massive cutbacks to the point that some departments are not even allowed to order envelopes or basic stationary without the head of department deciding whether it is worth financial outlay.
Daft cut backs like this will not make the same impact as say removing 1/3 of the figurehead managers that do nothing to actually validate their wages or dare I say it by removing some of the positions created just to keep up with the increased bureaucracy that isn't needed or to keep track of the targets that should never have been set in the first place.
There are many areas of the civil service which are massively over paid, over resourced and overly protected and these are the areas that should be culled.
