Councillor Michael Brown has promised that outsourcing West Sussex
County Council services to private companies will save 58 million
pounds. He reassures us that there is nothing to worry about because
other outsourcing deals have seen staff being generously re-employed
by the profiteers taking over the role of the local authority.
It makes you wonder exactly how this 58 million pounds is going to be
made? If not by cuts in wages or cuts in staff, could it be magic?
Or is Councillor Brown's promise just another politician's pie-crust
promise? We all know how much they are worth.
Never mind. It will be quite legal and not at all corrupt for the
private companies awarded the contracts to make generous donations to
the Conservative Party in the future. So everybody wins. With the
exception of anyone who relies on council services, anyone who works
for the council or anyone who cares about the public services.
