Jolly boating weather?! TUC demonstration, 26 March

What a long day (yesterday now!) and what a lot of pictures to process! Here is the snap of the day for me, taken at 10.30 on the Strand. Here are some of the people who made it from Barnet to march together, I'm sure there were more later on and elsewhere in the very big crowd.

David Duff said...: I looked everywhere for a placard telling the truth, you know, something like:

"LABOUR CUTS ARE NICER THAN TORY CUTS"

but, and I know you'll find this hard to believe, I didn't spot one anywhere!; 27 March 2011 at 13:51
Citizen Barnet said...: I'm all over this, Duffman.

(That means I like what you say... for once... Although you probably meant it as a rebuke to the anti-cuts protesters. In fact, I think most of them would oppose "Labour cuts" as well as "Tory cuts".); 27 March 2011 at 15:21
David Duff said...: Thank you for the translation, I do find modern argot to be frequently incomprehensible, like, really, innit?

However, returning to the main point, if what you say is true, and I believe you, then what was 'Cain' Miliband doing there and why didn't they pelt him with rotten veg?; 27 March 2011 at 20:26

"This model has a sound theoretical basis... [sic] However it is unproven at this scale." Future Shape cabinet report, 3 December 2008

"Nobody has said this is going to be easy, it's a work in progress, some of it will never see the light of day." Barnet council leader Mike Freer, 16 November 2009

"I do not believe Soviet bureaucratic initiatives like One Public Sector, Labour’s Total Place (and Barnet’s Future Shape / Easy Council) ideas are... the way forward." Barnet councillor Mark Shooter, 4 September 2010

“There are... many examples of long-term partnerships where the commitment and enthusiasm of the provider has waned over the duration of the contract. Major... organisations will generally resource extensively during the first year, or two, of a new contract but this level of resourcing diminishes as the contract moves to a more stable business as usual position.” One Barnet Procurement Principles, 1 March 2011

"...there can be little confidence that Barnet has the capability, and perhaps more worryingly the culture, necessary to meet the challenge posed by the letting and management of contracts that, under the One Barnet plan, will be far bigger than anything the Council has previously dealt with." 'London Borough of Barnet: Procurement and Contract Management', Association for Public Service Excellence, March 2012
