So on the back of Single Status and this year's paltry below-inflation pay offer, we now have briefings going around about how much money the council needs to save on staffing.

But - wait for it - Adults and Community are apparently going for an 'Investors In People' award! No, seriously. You at the back, stop laughing! I mean it - I'll keep the whole class behind at break!

If this is a joke, I think it's in extremely poor taste. In the horrifying event that they're serious... well, I think the only way I'm gonna get a meaningful 'investment' in my rent and food costs is if I mug a member of the senior management team.
