Keep the Civil Service in Britain

Well said C Deacon! I echo your comments wholeheartedly!
When you find yourself talking to a Call Centre in downtown Delhi and pulling your hair out because they can't understand what you want to say or do, then remember the Civil Servants trying to do their best for you and some of the most vulnerable people in society with less staff, inadequate IT systems and a flawed benefits system!!!! I'm a Civil Servant and proud to be on strike today whilst fat cats line their pockets. We want a tiny proportion of the billions of pounds of tax payers money squandered on ill- conceived IT and private consultants who don't know our job! You try finding work for ex cons, drug addicts, alchoholics and school leavers who cannot read or write and face a constant stream of abuse daily in an unscreened environment. All this for just above the national minimum wage because I like helping people and would like to try and make a difference.
