ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL.
Logical (definition) adj.: Formal argument; not contravening the principles of logic, correctly reasoned; following as reasonable inference or natural consequence; capable of correct reasoning. (Oxford Illustrated Dictionary).
This word you will find,will be repeated regularly in my text and, to a lesser degree, I'll make reference to "natural".
We have, for far too long, been taking so much of the nonsense coming out of Brussels that we have lost track of logic. Our current government sees it as a way of increasing the work force with the kind of jobs advertised weekly in the Guardian. Jobsworths that are well on the way to bankrupting the nation and cannot possibly be sustained. We'll all be familiar with the childlike array of posts to be filled, from Health and Safety/Counselling/Outreach/Compliance officers, you name it there are dozens if not hundreds of such titles which would embarrass Camberwick Green.
It's amazing how the flora and fauna returns annually without all these support systems, the biggest danger to the latter comes from the human race.
In the last year during a discussion with a councillor friend, he mentioned that he was part of a committee that had to assess the salary of a new chief executive to be appointed for our borough. The process adopted was to compare the post to a similar position in private industry, based on the number of personnel under his/her control. I interrupted him at this juncture to point out that there isn't a parallel here, because, in the private sector a new chief executive's function would be to streamline the system, to cut costs, possibly introducing more computerisation which could incur job losses. Not so in the public domain, as it would appear that the more individuals employed by the authority the greater the chief exec's income (NOT A BAD DEAL).
It has been revealed that a fifty five year old former chief executive of a county council in the south midlands took early retirement from his £200,000 + position, with a pay off of just under £300,000 plus an annual pension a little under £100,000. Now it could be possible that all parties enjoy this new elitism giving extra muscle to the public sector. Personally, I consider it to be appalling arrogance. All this has to be paid for by the public who, in many cases, can't afford to subscribe to a pension of their own. (THE SHANGRI-LA IN A TWO TIER SYSTEM).
