Is that why we see so many CEOs being brought in, in the private industry to 'solve' a problem, only to see then exit on golden handshakes a few years later, with the company in even worse straits??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeeze, do think we 'cognoscenti' on MF would fall for that? Let alone the plebs in the rest of the community???? They can write their own schedules and budgets to give them whatever they want to present??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throwing money at a problem (which is what this 'paying for the best' often amounts to) has been the preferred solution for too long. OK! So throw your money at the Second best, is it their fault if things go wrong? Or is it 'under skills employing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do we have such massive amounts of local government, when we are such a small island with only 80,000 people.? We have 24 +12 on mega bucks, then god knows how many Clerks to Commissioners, then all the local bods getting paid to attend meetings etc. So that we have lots of well paid jobs for locals to aspire to so that they stay on the island and put their money into circulation ? I've wondered the same thing for years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that depends on whether ypou are getting 'professional' governance or the best your Commissioners could find //??? It does not affect the salary offered, as your commissioners may not know the performance of the 'Clerk'? He may be your Saviour??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. You're forgetting to factor in the insane jealousy that accompanies anyone (especially if they work for govt or commissioners) earning half decent money. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Johnson Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) I cant actually believe that Ashfort said the below, taken from the Examiner. I'm speechless. But Mr Ashford told the Examiner: ’Reagents are purchased from a number of companies, and once purchased we consider carefully how and where to use it, based on need, demand and where it will bring benefit to our people. ’We are fighting this pandemic on various fronts and doing our utmost to maximise use of resources. The price at which the product is sold doesn’t, as far as I know, have any contractual limitations on purpose of use.’ He pointed out that the £50 charge is the same as that which was previously in place for seven-day testing for returning residents, and the price is set at the costs involved of conducting and processing the test - it does not generate a profit for the department. Contractually no but morally yes, you fool. Edited December 2, 2020 by Boris Johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
