Quango ?

It's supposed to be a proper energy supply company isn't it ?

I thought it was a wrestler from the 70's

Just noticed in the same artticle:

"Rachel Reeves is facing a showdown with union barons over a “deeply offensive” pay rise of 2.8 per cent for public sector workers.

Teachers and nurses have warned of fresh strikes and disruption, with unions furious over the offer for more than a million public sector workers."

I recall one or two of us on here forecasting that trouble lay ahead following the train drivers' and junior doctors' pay disputes being "settled" by way of unconditional, above inflation pay increases. We warned that such a strategy would lead to a "domino" effect among other public sector workers. We were told the new government was doing a "great job" and we were wrong,

Seems not. Stand by for threats of industrial action, rapid capitulation, huge increases in the public sector paybill, more borrowing, increased taxation and higher inflation.

How do I know this? I've seen it once or twice before. This mob are no different to the precious Labour governments it has been my misfortune to endure. They're just slighly less intelligent and slightly more inept, that's all.

Here's the Quango you mean, tripfrip:

 

[tomus42]

You've been quangoed.

The Tories funnelled public cash to their mates too. They just had a different name for them.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Suck it up loser etc etc.

So its all ok then tomus?

Font forget people had enough of the TINO's doing exactly this and were slung out.

As to the OP, that is only going to be the tip of the oiceburg.  Miliband will bankrupt the country, he is truly mad and blinded by ideology.

As for Quangos we were promised a bonfire of them by "Call me Dave" but sadly it was a damp squid.

00:39 I thought Labour were going to change all that.....
