Beat me to it. 😂
How are you supposed to whip up any antagonism by presenting the facts like that though?The lease car scheme doesn't cost the taxpayer anything, other than any admin of the scheme. My wife had a Crown Car a number of years ago. She could pick anything she wanted, but paid the leasing premium straight from her salary. If she went over her mileage allowance, she paid 6p per mile. There was no money from the hospital towards the provision of the car - the vehicles were leased directly from a major garage and the lease costs paid in full by the employees who got the cars.
Agree that all organisations public, private , charities and the religious orders etc are all prone.It is 14 years since I retired, so, things may have changed, but, speaking as someone who worked in public sector (including NHS) and private sector, I can only say, the bit in bold is not inline with my experience (not saying Public Sector cannot waste too)
