CUTS to public services — and we had £500 million worth announced this week — are the fault of the workers who provide the services. That at least is the view of the Scottish government.
It put this “necessity” down to a number of causes, but high up in the mix were pay claims from workers in public services, particularly council workers.
As excuses go this one is more lame than most. It’s politicians who set budgets and make plans, not council staff. It’s a bit rich turning around and blaming a lack of free school meals on the women who cook them.
