Comments on: Civil Servants and the Spending Review http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2010/10/25/civil-servants-and-the-spending-review/ Random thoughts and photos of my journey through life… Fri, 17 Apr 2026 12:20:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: CherryPie http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2010/10/25/civil-servants-and-the-spending-review/comment-page-1/#comment-9236 CherryPie Mon, 25 Oct 2010 22:56:22 +0000 http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/?p=4587#comment-9236 I am not sure if the government hopes or if it doesn't have a clue or maybe is feathering it's own nest... In addition to what I said in the post cutting the public sector will lead to comparative cuts in the private sector. Each relies on the other, if one is compromised so it the other.

When I got into work this morning the heating had broken down, it always does if there is a cold snap over the weekend because the heating is turned off. The boilers that provide hot water for drinks were also broken down. And to put the stresses into context, two people in my (now) very small organisation had heart attacks over the weekend. Sadly, one of them didn't make it, he was only 33. I do wonder if the stress of our situation over the years and the final blow last week was contributory.

Well I'm convinced! The cuts this government have planned will be a disaster for the those who rely on the services the public services, a disaster for the public servants and a disaster for the economy.

Did you read that article in the Observer yesterday? I thought it was spot on, which can be unusual for the National Press lately!
