To answer your last point - it's already started happening. Not by mass sackings, but by natural wastage. Some have left - to go to other jobs, and not been replaced. Others have been redeployed. Let's not quote individual appointments, because these are people's jobs and livelihoods that we're discussing and you wouldn't like to have people talking about you like that. But it's starting to happen.
