Whilst they talk about FTE, l lot of these roles are P/T, which means the actual number of individuals working for government is much higher (closer to 11k I'd guesstimate).
Add in another 20k+ government pensioners...and little wonder this bloated government, controlled by its civil-service puppet masters, will continue to ensure this island declines.
A massive impact on election results, potential reform, and any downsizing.
Turkeys never vote for Christmas, and we continue to elect the usual suspects to further manage our decline.
