This morning’s papers carry stories as to how ‘Bronco’ Brown proposes to save £12 billion over the next four years. The plans include ‘streamlining central government’ (whatever that means), cutting the civil service, getting rid of some quangos, etc., etc.
Having had these cuts announced in the papers, Brown then ‘announces’ them to at audience at the Royal Society.
Three questions arise in my mind.
Firstly, why has he bothered to make announcements to the good folk of the Royal Society? After all, we had only to look at our morning papers for this news.
Secondly, why doesn’t he tell Parliament what he proposes first rather than let his press department hand it out in advance?
Thirdly, and more important, why hasn’t he implemented these proposals years ago?
