180 Quangos Facing Axe
Google News Link
The promised Quango bonfire begins with a leaked document.
The costs of this bonfire are as many as 69,000 jobs lost with 5.2bn pounds in savings.
However it should be noted before disgust is expressed at mistreatment of the public sector that thusfar at least 1.35 million private sector jobs have been lost since 2008 while the public sector has enlarged somewhat.

Re: 180 Quangos Facing Axe
Workers will lose their jobs, bosses will move sideways.
Any bets?

Nowhere for them to move if their Quango is getting abolished 
Job losses at all levels I'd imagine. Especially the Quangos Labour filled with their sycophants.
Bosses are likely to find other jobs though, that's the nature of the beast.

Re: 180 Quangos Facing Axe
Usual and predictable response from Unions - threat of strikes.

Re: 180 Quangos Facing Axe
So much duplication and things such as the TSA have only just taken over from the Housing Corporation.

There'll be another quango along in a minute and they'll be filled with Tory sycophants, just like Labour did last time and the Torys the time before that, that's the real nature of the beast, each parties 'boys' need jobs and this is where they normally find them.

No reason at this time to think that's the case - the 'new' Quango will be the merged ones. Tories could fill those with their sycophants I guess.
Irrelevant speculation anyway, the bonfire is a very good thing.
Hopefully the BBC are the next target.

Re: 180 Quangos Facing Axe
Had a letter from the GTC laying out the schedule until abolition..hopefully done and dusted before the next payment due in April.
