It is well known
that the louder the noise emitted by politicians, especially those of a ruling
party, the less important is the content of the announcement. Mathematicians
would term it the law of inverse proportionality. Well; surprise, surprise………without much
fanfare and in just a few lines the Ministry of Justice has announced that in
the year 2012-2013 £287.4 million was spent in redundancy payments to all those surplus
staff who were clogging up the justice system by their inefficiencies. The Justice Ministry admitted that since
taking office it has reduced staff levels by 10,000. Oh!.... And whisper it quietly but the self same ministry has spent over half a
billion pounds on consultancy fees in that last accounting period of
2012-2013.
The full report
is here and the information above is buried deep within.
