Less Is More.

Another example of political rhetoric not matching up with political reality.

"THE NUMBER of quangos has decreased since the SNP took power but the number of people employed in them has gone up. Public sector employment figures published yesterday showed that in the third quarter of this year, 37,300 worked for quangos, a 1.2% increase on the same quarter last year."

Enterprising?

A scandalous waste of public cash, and not very enterprising.

"THREE bosses at an enterprise quango have been paid off with £336,500 of public cash. Highlands and Islands Enterprise forked out the massive redundancy packages in a bid to slash costs. The total cost of axing the three directors and 56 other workers from Inverness-based HIE was £4.4million."

It's great when you can make loads of public money out of being sacked.
