Tax ''thiefing Scumbags''

[Sloth]

Having said that, a number of years ago I worked for the Parks department of a local authority that shall remain unnamed and was always shocked by the feb/march spending spree which went on to get rid of the excess money left in the pot so that the following year's budget would not be lower, the thinking being that if the department can survive on less than the year's budget, then next year it would need a smaller budget.  Nowhere in this mindset was the concept of saving accounted for and so there was never any money for the really big projects and a bodge job inevitably ensued.  This short term thinking infuriated me, and I suspect it pervades all levels of government.

We could learn a lot from Norway!

Rant over, pint resumed.
