Is that all?

The Taxpayers’ Alliance has calculated that the public sector wastes £120 BILLION per year on things like a skip covered with yellow lights (the Arts Council), £22 light bulbs (the MoD), hiring a motivational magician (Cotswold district council) and paying a clothing allowance to local government officials (Durham council). Government extravagances include £3,000,000 on biscuits for ministers and their underlings, £427,000 for rubber bullets which the police can’t use, and £15,000,000 on duplicated procurement by Whitehall departments and local councils. Not to mention excessive pay ‘n’ pensions for the public sector. So it’s no wonder the country is broke.
