Austerity - How low can we go

Government is saving money by cutting - cutting benefits, cutting cash to Local Government, cutting Taxes! Oh yes that makes the Rich Richer!

How low can we go - do you need/want your local council services?

My council is considering cutting cleaners.

Taking all waste bins out of offices and putting them in corridors, staff will have to walk out to the corridor to put their banana skins/tea bags whatever in the bin. They'll need less cleaners, less bins to empty and it will be quicker and easier.

Saving money on cleaners. But aren't they the lowest paid? What about waste at the top? Chief officers etc.

This is a rich country but how low can we go to save money so the rich can get richer. Bankers still get their bonuses and who bailed them out a few years ago?
