The UK government [deliberate lower case g] could chop most of its useless Quangos and save some 130 Billion pounds!!!!!!
Each household in the UK pays more than £3300 per year to support 1160+ bureaucratic nightmares. 700,000 bowler hats would be on the street but then most of them have done nothing for the UK and I would rather see the A400M in large numbers than know that quangos were deliberating on such essential subjects as ....
"Examples of quangos - often obscure, unlikely-sounding or plain baffling - include the Public Diplomacy Board, the Third Sector Commissioning Task Force, the Home Grown Cereals Authority, the Tax Appeals Modernisation Stakeholder Group, the Advisory Committee on Packaging and the Work and Pension Longitudinal Study Ethics Committee.
Several top-earning quangocrats are paid comfortably more than the Prime Minister's salary of £185,000.
The latest figures will reignite concerns over Labour's handling of public services and levels of waste in Whitehall public spending.
The £124billion of public funds given to non-departmental public bodies is up from £79billion three years ago."
Madness!
