Absolutely stocksoldier. That is an excellent qualification to make. I think when most of us speak of public servants we are referring to various pen - pushers, so many unnecessary administration staff and so many literally pointless middle and senior managers. As for politicians needing to take a paycut at this time, that as a point of solidarity in this time of extreme crisis is an absolute given.
Of course we need the public service but there is a lot of dead weight and fat there.
As for police and nurses and and soldiers at this time, they should all be paid all the overtime they are owed and more.
