um pahars Posted 30 September, 2011 Posted 30 September, 2011 On the day when over 1,000 of the nations finest seamen are being handed their P45s, at least we can rejoice that our bins (those outside of Southampton anyway) will get their rubbish collected on a regular basis. I can only presume that our sailors and submariners will be retrained to handle dust carts, whilst if there is another Falklands War we'll be throwing bins and skips at the incoming aircraft. I'm just not sure finding £250m for weekly collections is up there on my priority list and also think it's a shoddy way to be treating some of those who have put their lives on the line (with many having done this in recent months).
anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 30 September, 2011 Posted 30 September, 2011 Absolutely pathetic from the Govt.
dune Posted 30 September, 2011 Posted 30 September, 2011 300 compulsory redundancies. The end of the world is nigh.
Thedelldays Posted 30 September, 2011 Posted 30 September, 2011 not a chance....I am one of the protected lot.... safe!!! saying that, if I was not, I would have got £50k pay off
Window Cleaner Posted 30 September, 2011 Posted 30 September, 2011 saying that, if I was not, I would have got £50k pay off nearly enough to buy your very own dust cart then.
Thedelldays Posted 30 September, 2011 Posted 30 September, 2011 300 compulsory redundancies. The end of the world is nigh. alot of these redundancies are from the fleet air arm........many of how have not done a days sea time in 10+ years and push desks
dune Posted 30 September, 2011 Posted 30 September, 2011 alot of these redundancies are from the fleet air arm........many of how have not done a days sea time in 10+ years and push desks Pushing desks sounds a lot harder than pushing pens. Those in council office non jobs would be off sick with a bad back before you could say "lazy public sector wallors".
SuperMikey Posted 30 September, 2011 Posted 30 September, 2011 It's the government bowing to years of pressure from Daily Mail readers to get bin collections sorted out. It's a bit of a bizarre move though tbh, I would like to know the thought process behind this.
um pahars Posted 30 September, 2011 Author Posted 30 September, 2011 not a chance....I am one of the protected lot.... safe!!! saying that, if I was not, I would have got £50k pay off £50k!!! What a profligate waste of taxpayers money, many in the private sector get nothing (as I'm sure that's what some would say LOL).
Thedelldays Posted 30 September, 2011 Posted 30 September, 2011 £50k is cheap for the level of expertise, experience and qualifications I have. It would cost them a fuk load more to keep me However, I am protected from any cuts
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 30 September, 2011 Posted 30 September, 2011 Pushing desks sounds a lot harder than pushing pens. Those in council office non jobs would be off sick with a bad back before you could say "lazy public sector wallors". Hmmmm arn't the armed forces a public sector outfit too?

Stop trolling, although Im sure you do get a kick over fantasising that you are causing the premature and painful deaths of millions of foreigners.

It's a bit of a bizarre move though tbh, I would like to know the thought process behind this. The Communities Secretary, made a pre-election promise to the Daily Heil, and so they have, to quote a departmental spokesman, 'raided every biscuit tin in the building' to present this triumph of political planning 48 hours before the start of the party conference. It's probably the only 'good news story' they'll manage. Eric Pickles ....................................................... Jabba the Hutt
