Are our Public Services on "their knees" in Britain
Its a cry we are familiar with from those in the Labour Party or on the extreme left but what substance does it have? Below are a list of some of our main public services to aid your decision. Remember that public sector workers are actually paid significantly better than their peers in the private sector and get longer holidays, shorter working hours, greater (or effectively total) job security and pension entitlements – which as a rule are considerably more generous.
So are public services in crisis or is blaming central government just a way to cover up poorly run services?
