FAT CATS £2.7BILLION PAY-OFF

The Government accounts showed that more than 3,000 public bodies including civil service received £2.7billion in golden handshakes.  These reports coming too often and the government is not inclined to stop it.  The only reason it must be their friends.  Chancellor George Osborne forever preaches austerity and demands more cuts to the public.

The total of taxpayers-funded pay-offs during 2011-12 for around 3,500 and came to a total of £100,000.  Furthermore, three quarter of the 108,000 of the workers received severance money even if they left voluntarily.

PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS.  THANK YOU.

The Government makes the taxpayers belief that it saves them billions of pounds in the long run by cutting down staff.  Well let’s hope so.

However, it has to be acknowledged that the government is reducing public sectors and staff should be paid a reasonable sum for being made redundant.  But in the last three years there were too many cases of civil servants getting incredible, unjustifiable huge amount of money and also many of not most of them have gone into other top jobs straight away.  This should have been stopped.

It will also come as a shock when taxpayers read that almost of 3,500 have received a golden handshake in a six figures.  The Government alone set the civil service pay-off terms and it is therefore irresponsible in handling these huge sums over from taxpayers who suffer one of the worst austerities.

A Government spokesman said: “In 2010 the Government reformed the Civil Service Compensation Scheme to lower the cost of reducing workforce and bring in a scheme that is fairer and affordable for the taxpayer. Civil service had been reduced by 15 per cent saving the taxpayers “22billion a year ever since the election.”

This is one side of the coin the other side is that the Government establish an army of consultancies and out-posting contracts to private companies which were run by civil servants. It also does not justify the golden handshakes of an executive with £1 or £2millions especially if they walk into another job.

At the moment Tory MP Rob Wilson demanded an investigation by the police into 7,500 BBC managers and staff worth £360million from 2005 to 2012.

The Government cannot enforce austerity to the ordinary taxpayers and at the same time fill the pockets of  fat cats. However, Tories, when in power, always looked after their own decibels and kicked the ordinary workers. They did in Thatcher’s, Heath’s,  Churchill’s and right down to Peel’s time during Victoria. It is a well known fact. How they always get voted in again and again is a miracle?
