On The One Show last night they showed how volunteers are driving the
buses on the IOW. No sign of volunteers taking over council Human
Resources and management jobs though.

IOW council also has a propensity for hiring top management level
staff at exorbitant salaries, who seem to do very little for the large
sums of taxpayers money they are rewarded with.


Do they hand out pointless study contracts to friend too?


Maybe rather than messing around with a theatre group, Mike Crowe
should spend some time looking into these scandals?


or become an acting CEO.

Has the IOW council scandal been publicised in the local press I
wonder?


and have you heard about the Whitby/Scarborough scandals that have
been publicised in the local press, but nowhere else?

Private Eye provides a fair bit of unwanted publicity for various
dodgy councils around the UK, but unfortunately in common with PFI
(which is being used to decimate the health service, so its ripe for
privatisation!), no one seems particularly interested in the ££
£billions of taxpayers money being squandered and trousered by bent
councillors!

PE covered Scarborough's bent tendering for the sea defence contract
in Rotten Boroughs.

Seems an awful shame that in common with bliars war crimes, bent
members of local government ripping of taxpayers money pretty nearly
always get away with it!
