I'm sorry but that's rubbish, are you suggesting that public sector workers including our first responders spend the work day resting on their laurels?
Whether public or private there are grievance procedures,

For gods sake don't make it a left v right issue I didn't suggest things were rosy during the blair/brown years but the last 7yrs of austerity have hardened some up to the point where when it's known that policies are going to inflict hardship the response is a resounding 'meh'.

It is shocking that expecting a 3rd rate shoddy service is the norm, and even more shocking that it's taken as a forgone conclusion that people have no passion for their profession.
