We actually do point 70 in a few paces already! But the whole thing is absolutely brilliantly shit. The few good ideas are sorely outweighed by those which are politically motivated
A bit of true colour shining through on 88:
Cease funding racially separate interest groups
Cor, makes it sound like the council are giving Al-Qaeda money, doesn't it? But, no, it means they want to stop funding that day centre for elderly Jewish people - they'll be fine at home on their own anyway, won't they? And no more money for that after-school club to help Eastern European kids perfect their English skills. Should've learnt before they came over, eh?
Also 93:
Charge for teaching other councils how to set up specialist services. For instance if you have a CCTV control room whose manager has the relevant qualifications, there could be substantial revenue in him or her running occasional courses in how to operate it.
Waiting for "Don't pay other councils for experise. See if they will help you for free, or do it yourself".
102:
Check the list of those outside bodies being given free or subsidised office space by the council. They could well be in buildings which could be sold
Yeah, kick that kid's pre-school out!
106 Cease employing Work Experience Coordinators.
107 Scrap all "nanny state" posts. "Five a Day" officers, etc.
Work experience co-ordinators are quite important. There are plenty of kids who may not have the skill or the confidence to contact people for work experience. Should they be left on the scrapheap? TPA offers no reason for this. Also "nanny state" posts is vague and politically motivated. Do they have any figures for the number of '5-a-day officers'? Or is that something the Mail made up that they've read?
Review council-owned car parks with a view to selling them.
Destroy your town centre by privatising car parks and charging people double to park!
Scrap "Equalities Impact Assessments."
Because we don't care about the gays and you shouldn't either
Use of telecare to provide more independence to older people.
"Next week, Gladys, instead of coming round and helping you dress yourself, I'm going to give you a phone call. OK? What's that? Oh, you'll probably just have to stay in your nightclothes all day"
Cease spending money installing road humps.
Drivers always obey the speed limit, it's fine...
Stop producing leaflets for silly reasons
Says you..
