Following on from my last post, some of the ideas proffered by the One Day Prime Ministers really found favour amongst their colleagues.
The easy proposal voted through with a record majority, was to Freeze civil servants pay. Who could possibly disagree with that ?
There were as expected, predictable consequences. An almost immediate ‘work to rule’. When that didn’t work the trade union leaders called for a ‘go slow’, but sadly, nobody noticed any difference. So finally they mandated an ‘all out strike’.
Over 500,000 civil servants didn’t turn up for work, although most of them ‘work from home’, so once again nobody noticed any difference. The good news was that the country was saving a fortune🤡
There were also some unforseen consequences :-
- The border force officers stopped working on passport controls, so foreign visitors could just walk into the country unchallenged.
- That instantly scuppered the boats crossing the Channel; something successive governments had been trying to do for years.
- We were also able to stop paying the £600 million bung to the French police for not stopping illegal immigration.
- 🤡QUITE A HAPPY OUTCOME🤡
There will be more consequences in the next post, which maybe even more radical.
