Where the cuts should be made

'The place to cut expenditure in local government is not among frontline staff doing useful work but among the £50,000, to £150,000 coordinators, managers and mutual backscratchers in the back offices.

There is not that much overmanning these days on the shop floor, or even in private sector management either. It isn’t like the 1970s and 1980s. The fat that needs cutting out is to be found in the town halls, not on the dustcarts.'
Lord Tebbit making sense; I note that it is the number of '£50,000, to £150,000 coordinators, managers and mutual backscratchers in the back offices' that increased under Labour at least partly to increase the number of Labour voters.
