Not enough, it's a tough job deciding where to cut the budget

And the answer to my question?

OK Studio, you're obviously not a researcher, so I'll help you out.

The top 28 executives of this council were paid £2,947,114 last year, a cushty average of £105,000 per person for mismanaging budgets, enshrining incompentence, depriving services from hard working deserving people and attempting to protect their own massive salaries.

Which you presumably agree with

Get them out say I, get some honest brokers to balance the books, and, Studio, get real!

Is this the same Council that loaned Northampton Town £10m to help them complete their stand....

Thank you JtS, you corroborate my view on this.

Yet to listen to the BBC you would get a very different view...and a not very true one!

Hard to understand how a Tory council can go so badly wrong? 5th biggest economy in the world, sensible Tory national government, sensible Tory local government, and as Mrs May says, " More people than ever before in work ", paying taxes and contributing to the common good ? why are we so ****ed ?

Massive corruption all over the whole bloody lot

and what do you reckon typical salary is for an "honest broker". i also wonder if that £3m is the pay for 28 executives or the cost of them.

I reckon he was probably being sarcastic, just a thought.

Further evidence of the Tories much heralded economic competence.
