Idle

The Gorse Fox notes that a Fire Brigade Officer had the temerity to say the unsayable – that many people are bone idle and he has managed to reduce his headcount significantly, yet improve the overall performance of the Brigade in his region. Now this gives raise to several observations:

• This corresponds with GF’s observations – where sickness rates at one former client were up to 30% in some areas of the country. (Though he would add that there were many of their colleagues who worked their socks off – and deserved to be paid far more than they got).
• This corresponds with an observation from the Deputy Head who also commented on people who go off sick for 6 months then come back for a week (otherwise payments drop)… then go back off sick. (This was the sort of behaviou recently featured in a national newspaper).
• The Fire Brigades Officer has been forced to apologise.

The TUC are an industrial terrorist group and seemed to be hell bent on protecting the idle, the indolent, and the wealth consumers (as opposed to creators). This is also an insurgency against the private sector pensions which have been cut back year after year, but the TUC expect to protect their pensions – paid for by the private sector. This is an insurgency against the all the voters of the UK who voted for either of the coalition parties and therefore chose a tough line on managing the vast deficit left by the Union’s previous puppet government.

They THINK they will get public support – well the Gorse Fox can assure this Taliban-styled, stone-age group of thugs that they won’t be getting much support here.
