We pay a lot more for the waste and inefficiency in for-profit private services. That is where by far the most waste and inefficiency of our economy lies.
Take the price of brand new golf clubs as an example.
TV services is another good example.
Waste waste waste and inefficiencies galore.
I love a good moan.
private sector seervices cost you and me nothing - you choose what to buy or use and private sector are always more efficient than public sector. The market dictates what to pay people in the private sector whereas the unions do so in te private sector. Knowing many people who work in both, i concur with Bunkermagnet in that the shocking waste in the public sector is beyond anything that happens in private sector - there is massive waste that can be culled, saving us all money and providing more for essential front-line public sector that deserve more and will benefit us all. And all public sector pensions should be funded from now on - ie local council is but main civil service and most others are not. And a similar plan is needed for the State Pension. These things will increasingly bankrupt our country if they are not tackled - the private sector learned this lesson 30 years ago!
