just thank your luck stars. i was offered a ticket for question time last night (it was held where i work) but i was too busy watching our game.

the problem is that 50% of the workers in boro (using your figures) are being paid for by the taxpayers. The tax the other half pay for is nowhere near enough to pay for them. the public sector is way overstaffed.

why is there so little industry/entrepreunship in boro? I bet most people there don't go to university and few learn the cutting edge technology required to create wealth in the 21st century.

Do you do anything other than f*cking moan and generally be a bitter sounding c*nt?

Economic wealth has always been founded on the commercial prowess of private individuals creating successful enterprises and driving them forward. It is the role of governments (amongst other roles) to create the necessary financial environment to assist in creating success and to educate the workforce to be at such a level to improve productivity. En-mass public sector administrative jobs for the sake of reducing unemployment (Labour government policy under Brown) play no role in creating economic success, quite the opposite they are drain on resources, not a creator of revenue.
