The Real Cost of Peterborough Pilgrims
The unions have often moaned that the investigations into their facility time are unfair. If anything figures put out by the Taxpayers’ Alliance were very conservative. Take Rona Hendry (£43,600 per annum) and Mark Burn (£29,700 per annum) for example, two Pilgrims who seems to spend their time creating ‘social communities’ online for Peterborough Council.
The TPA report into taxpayer funding of trade unions said that Peterborough claimed the cost of Pilgrims was £56,385. Further digging puts the actual true cost at almost 50% higher. In other news Peterborough have rejected the council tax freeze.
fucking disgusting.
They should be taken outside and shot!
Shoot them in front of their families!
Slowly…..
Lets not forget all these government appointed jobsworth most of whom were appointed by Liebour still sucking on the public tit.
LOL and so the tory rabble sings its song of hate..
YAWN!
Right wing scum all the same..
Because I think taxpayers shouldn’t subsidize trade unions I am scum according to you?
My local council has 8 trade union staff. The have free office space, computers, internet, phones, photocopying. They have access to free computer training courses. They even have paid administrative assistance. On top of this the council pay pension contributions and employers national insurance. Across the country in hospitals, schools, councils, government departments this amounts to a subsidy that is over £100m a year.
It won’t be long until trade union members have to pay the true cost of their membership – possibly double what they currently pay or more! We will see how many members what to remain when they have to pay the true cost and they realise what bad value for money it is. Boys the gravy train has left town and now you are going to have to pay!
Teensy weensy bit excessive, don’t you think, Colonel?
Yes. A claw hammer is cheaper.
Sounds like you’ve got deep Anger issues.
You need a nice day out at wagamamas.
Ha! This is peanuts compared to the BBC. We’ve got so much cash here from the telly tax that our pilgrims are the most expensive in the world.
Will you pay for it? If not then shut up.
Hell hath no fury like a Pilgrim scorned!
Who do these pilgrims represent? Last year Peterborough CC sacked all their direct labour and replaced them with agency workers on minimum wage. This we were told would save us council tax payers a fortune. Perhaps they are representing each other.
Do Peterborough Council have a job for a fat-N-UGLY non-teaching teacher?
I would be the ideal candidate, and Haringay would surely support my application. It’d sane them plenty of money.
Never mind Julie if you dont get that job you can always apply for job of Police Chief, no experience necessary.
Just you watch it toff! me and my biker friends will be round yours like a like a like a like a like lik lik lik li li li li l l l l l l oh f8ck!
Equally, what exactly does Peterborough Councillor Walsh’s “Cabinet for Community, Cohesion and Safety” represent – apart from meaningless twaddle for an easy life?
All sounded very not saying, not to upset, but I would like to know the Coucillors job description, in the cabinet for C, C & S. Sounds very dodgey to me!
Now let me see……..
Could it be a swanky office in a newly-refurbished council building (at taxpayers expense, of course), a full complement of staff, a car (with a driver), a hugely inflated salary and an unlimited expense account?
Now let me see……..
Could it be a sw*nky office in a newly-refurbished cou*cil buil*ing (at ta*payers expen*e, of course), a full compl*ment of st*ff, a c*r (with a dr*ver), a hug*ly inflat*d sal*ry and an unl*mited exp*nse acco*nt?
Sorry about asterisks – my last comment was modded.

“Cabinet for Community, Cohesion and Safety.” Look guys. The party is over. Manufacturing is not coming back from China and Europe and North America and Australia and NZ have to deal with it. We cannot afford this crap anymore!
(Canada and Oz somewhat better off due to natural resources we can flog–Oz sells iron ore and coal to China. Canada sells oil to the US–if Obama does not get re-elected Canada might the green light to extend the pipeline to the Gulf Coast and then we could sell it abroad. Right now, oil is about $20 a barrel cheaper in N.A. due to this).
Is Peterborough a Labour council? If so then the council tax payers have only themselves to blame for voting socialist.
Tory council .Tory MP
The Tory MP Stewart Jackson is fuming.
“It is time the cabinet stopped listening to its highly paid council officers and started listening to the council taxpayers.
“I am disappointed they are one of the few councils in the country not to take up the grant and freeze tax.”
http://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/politics/politics-news/mps_slam_peterborough_city_council_for_council_tax_increase_1_3504025
So they did vote socialist, then.
The marxist “charity” Common Purpose, infest Peterborough, party badges are meaningless.
Labour Councils like Lambeth spend ten time as much on their pilgrims at the same time as cutting things that do not cost them anything (but might upstage the Olympics) like the 38th Lambeth Country show – and offering funds instead “to community groups to run smaller festivals”.
Tessa Jowell (shadow Olympics Minister and one of these who supported the Zil lanes that will paralyse London and help cost the UK economy more that the Olympics could ever hope to generate) supports the canellation because “Thre will be great pressure on all our police resources and teh hsow requires a great deal of policing”. Meanwhile the police has said that the decision to bin the event at short notice was the council’s alone and they would have “supported them in any deciison they would have made.”
Who agreed the provison of Zil lanes for “the Olympic Family” to travel from West End hotels across London, as opposed to what was necessary to ferry athletes to venues outside walking distance from their accommodation? Who was consulted? Were their decisions legal? Is it too late, in any case, to call for judicial review with a view to confining the lanes to athletes and/or a couple of hours in the morning to get to the Games venues only.
Where are the programme to entertain the NEETs of London who have not yet been able to steal HDTVs and smartphones to watch, of are they be expected to be busy robbing those watching on big screens outside the security zone, alongside the worlds pickpockets.
but the voters are not the same as the taxpayers
most voters are on benfits and not paying the tax innit
Not much choice mate. Labour = crap = boll*ocks. Tories will always attack the NHS.
Any corrupt organisation like the NHS, where it costs £300 to change a lightbulb, needs attacking on a regular basis.
Don’t follow the money on these, follow who they know!
Be fair, its cold
Do it inside
This is victimisation !
But just think of all the overtime you’ll be able to claim for dealing with it.
We need to get rid of these scrounging pilgrims right now. No delays, no reviews.
If they’re doing union work, make the union pay. Or sack them for moonlighting.

How much does the council give the unions via staff training on the Trade Union courses they just happen to run for just about all jobs within the public sector, supply, provide mats and room facilities for ?
Do the trade unions arbitrate in staff disputes and employment issues ? If so, was the arbitration/work put out to tender ?
Local Government is the last bastion of unreformed blatant corruption in this country. Nothing will come of it, as all political Parties garner huge funds from planning corruption. I should know because I have been in local government for 45 years, been involved and Head of planning for most of those years, in the most corrupt local Authority in th UK, Portsmouth. Boaz.

What’s her Phd in, something useless like ‘public services’ from the Open University? Typical public sector, calling herself Dr instead of Jane Martin Phd. Looks to me like another overqualified public servant with little ability, as the posts above testify to. They were useless when I was PM, even more so now, by the look of things.
1. Local Government is till corrupt and incompetent.
2. It is too expensive and a burden on the taxpayer.
3. It’s mediocre officers are paid far too much.
4. There are too many levels of management.
5. There is not enough outsourcing.
6. It’s performance and service delivery is abysmal.
7. It is not regulated properly.
8. It’s Regulator is corrupt (see above)
We have been creaming it for years by providing useless courses to Councils, that are not required, and we charge top dollar for. On average every Council in the land spends about £100,000 a year on these useless courses and most of it is pure profit, tax free, because we are a registered charity, and all paid for by the taxpayer. Thanks. Must go now and arrange for some council officers to move to other councils, doing the same job, but on double the pay.

Imagine a world where shoe shops were nationalised. In each large town there was only one shop selling shoes. And because you knew you had no choice and the workers there knew you had no choice their attitude was that you should be bloody grateful and subservient to them. And if you didn’t behave you would find yourself on their ‘bad books’, finding it strangely difficult to get any shoes at all.
The shoes would be free but you would have to make an appointment 4 or 5 days ahead before you were granted permission to visit the shop and see a shoe enablement officer, followed by possibly an 18 week wait before the shoes you were told you could have would be ready for you. And when you turned up to take possession of the shoes, as likely as not you would be told that the shoes had not yet arrived or discover that the shoes did not fit you or were not the ones you were expecting. And of course you could only have one pair of shoes per year unless you had a form signed by three professionals. And of course there was no computer system because it cost £12 billion and didnt work.
Now imagine that, if you wanted medical treatment, it would be provided by a 16-year-old trainee with an attitude problem and would only be available if you could afford it. If you needed anything a bit unusual they wouldn’t be able to do it. All the actual work would be done in the Philippines by chidlren chained to workbenches, while the customers paid for expensive branding and huge merchanting profit margins. And they would always, always try to sell some some useless shoe care product for £9.99.

It sounds as if Eric Pickles needs to get up to Peterborough and bang a few heads together. This is in today’s Peterborough Evening Telegraph
“A working party of councillors has been formed from the Independent group, the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats to draft an alternative council budget.
It will propose accepting a Government grant in return for keeping council tax at the same level – which the Conservative-controlled cabinet says is impossible without imposing cuts to services.”
The Mail is reporting this today
“Giant 40ft gypsy ‘caravan’ given police escort through village to ILLEGAL travellers’ site… after council forces residents to move their cars”
and the Telegraph
“Villagers told move your cars so traveller’s caravan can be towed onto ‘illegal’ site
Villagers have reacted with fury after being ordered to move their cars so that police can escort an extra wide mobile home to an “illegal” travellers’ site. “
Surely that makes the cops accessory to a crime ?

What’s new?

Common mistake made calculating salary costs. Total cost of employment is usually around 170% of basic salary. This includes such thing as employers’ National Insurance Contributions, pension payments, office costs etc. Therefore the two’s combined salaries of 73 K become approximately £124K total cost or more than double the stated £56,385.
Not forgetting the subsidised canteen
We’re about 300% with all our trough perks at the BBC. We’ve got so much cash swilling about that nobody notices.
“So, you want to be paid for being a nuisance and screwing everything up? Let’s see what we’ve got…ah, yes, here we are, you’re in luck:
Pilgrim – £40k plus pension and use of staff canteen;
Treasury official – £125k plus pension and a pretty little medal;
Head of nationalised bank – £negotiable, shall we say?”

I’m an atheist, and even I think the law has no place interfering in this way. If the council as a whole wants to have a prayer before sessions, what’s stopping non-believers from just having a moment of thoughtful reflection?

Mainly because “paragnostic” has nothing whatsoever to do with “agnostic” – it merely means “knowing lots of useless shit” which kind of sums me up
According to the Urban Dictionary, there is no consensus on the meaning.
Perhaps you could submit yours.
There’s a definition for “paragnosis”, which is somewhat dodgily defined as similar to paranoia, except that you know the buggers are out to get you.
I have to admit to coining the word myself, vaguely in line with Greek para (beside or beyond) and gnosis (knowing). The idea being that what is being known really, really isn’t worth remembering, but is remembered anyway.

Of course, in some Councils, if certain people had their way, the prayers would be conducted on a rug, facing east, “There is no god but God and His Prophet is Muhammad…” and if you didn’t like it, you would be called a xenophobic bigot, and at worst, you could possibly end up a decapitated infidel. That is, if certain people would ever be able to have their way.
You mean like Kirklees ??
Fine – let them do it that way if they like. With a Moslem dominated council, a few prayers would be the least of your worries, anyway.
My point is that if the majority of councillors want to have a prayer of whatever sort before starting their business, then it’s pretty churlish of someone to object just because they might feel uncomfortable. I would hope that most of us would be polite enough to just let them get on with it, and use the time to think about something else of slightly more interest.
Straighten up, Para. And fly right.
That’s been their idea all along. Somewhere has a long standing tradition of informal Christian worship before meetings and suddenly introducing a certain other worship would be difficult as the existing practice has no official status. It’s just the way things are done.
Oh dear, someone is trying to ban the existing practice, we’ll have to introduce a statutory right to worship before council meetings.
The new law gets enforced for a certain favoured religion but not for the original one.

Used to be called public expenditure.
raised is such a under-descriptive term, I prefer the accurate word “extorted”.

Guido, you have got pilgrims 180 degree wrong–its not the taxpayers but the council workers they represent that are getting screwed.
Imagine the wage negotiations–the council offers a low bat on wages and sweetens it with a bit of pilgrim “generosity” so union representative can ditch their full time job. Do the union representatives say no pilgims and argue for higher wages or accept and take the pilgrim sweetner? Costwise pilgrims could be saving council millions in wages by allowing councils to negotiate low balls.
Rather than taxpayers, it is union members that should be hot under the collar and protesting since such job “sweeteners” to union representatives.

You’ve only found two of them. There’s probably as many as 15 and possibly even more than that. What about the one’s in the Police Force, the Fire Brigade, the Schools and the NHS?
You couldnt make this up, its diversity innit

They have toilets in Wales?
Doesn’t surprise me in the least.
Makes me think of the Spike Milligan limerick:
“There once was a man from Darjeeling
Who boarded a bus bound for Ealing
It said on the door
Do not spit on the floor,
So he stood up and spat on the ceiling.”
A university spokeswoman said: “Swansea University is a multi-cultural campus community and the informational posters were produced, for use in both male and female facilities, to help address cultural differences that were unfortunately causing damage and hygiene issues.
What are they doing at university, of all places, if they can’t work out that a seat 2ft off the ground is for sitting on, not for shitting on?
In my professional opinion, after examining lavatories for many years,
I would recommend that the Chancellor and Lord High Dean of Swansea University give the order to remove the lavatory seats altogether…
It is better to be safe than sorry…
And the seats are clearly worth more than the students I would say, as a unionised expert,
No, seriously. Before my first visit to an Asian country I had already explored the sanitation arrangements and knew all about squat-type shitters, hoses instead of paper etc. It wasn’t difficult to find out.
So why is a Thomas Crapper such a surprise to these students? If they are so uninterested in the cultural arrangements of the country in which they plan to spend the next two or three years “studying”, why do they bother to come? Are they even up to taking a degree course if they can’t work out how to take a dump?
We call these students our “blue sky” children you see
They will form an ever increasing part of the Big Society
Charities will flourish teaching them all how to use a lavatory seat
And we can enhance the status of lavatory attendants at the same time (and unionise them)
All very socially worthwhile
Is that you again Hilton ?
Please shut up now. If you go on like this, we will lose the next election…
Love
Call me Dave
They stand on the toilet seat for two reasons. Squatting is their normal way of taking a crap and for everyone’s information, it is a more natural way of defecating allowing for better bowel movement. Also, they do not want their arses connected with some infected plastic that everyone else has sat on.
When I worked in the middle east after we had built a local college for the local ragheads we found that the bogs all got blocked within days. The locals did what they did in the desert – used little stones to scrape their bums, not the provided paper. These went in the pan as was discovered when some poor soul had to clear them.
So we put up signs in Arabic – PLEASE USE THE PAPER
A week or two later, same problem: blockages.
Again after clearing the U-bends they were found to be full of little stones and … check dis … all carefully wrapped in toilet paper.
Is this a Swansea University student then ?
NO
The student has to get in the right position stupid…like this
The motto of Swansea University, in case you did not know is :
I shit thus I can think
but without shit what would the person think with?
Soon to be Police Chief of humberside
Phd Swansea
Pee high dive No. 2.1 passed
I warned you. Rivers of shite
“Her friend Teresa Jenkins said she welcomed any move that would improve hygiene on the campus.
“It is important to do as much as possible to keep the toilets clean,” she added.”
Stupid, stupid woman. If the dirty c’unts can’t use a toilet properly what the hell are they doing at a “university” in the first place FFS?

Piss be upon you.
Pottyborough is a rotten borough, sinking into a mire of corruption, outsourcing wheezes, dodgy property interests, pandering to Islamists, scandalous waste (£11M to lay slabs in the Square) and ever more bizarre vanity projects from the Leader. The MP is obviously digging and hinting.
An outrageous comment. The New Citizens of Peterborough have brought a richness of diversity that was sadly lacking in a hideously white East Anglian city of inbreds with 13 fingers apiece.
the Liva.pool 47 or 50-3 or whatever it takes to get past the moddy
Shut it, now, Bloke. We don’t talk about that
Too many folks would start smelling a rat
Not that it ain’t right there up their noses
Nominally, all sweetness and roses
Behold, the state’s official position
Here turns from inclusion to omission
This don’t fit the facade. They’ve wiped it out
It’s too big a scandal to talk about
There must be hundreds if not thousands of pilgrims in the BBC
Anyone have an idea ?
Any abuse in a small local authority should be multiplied by about 100 to get to the BBC’s level of abuse
He who would valiant be ’gainst all disaster,
Let him in constancy follow the Master.
There’s no discouragement shall make him once relent
His first avowed intent to be a pilgrim.
Who so beset him round with dismal stories
Do but themselves confound – his strength the more is.
No foes shall stay his might; though he with giants fight,
He will make good his right to be a pilgrim.
Since, Lord, Thou dost defend us with Thy Spirit,
We know we at the end, shall life inherit.
Then fancies flee away! I’ll fear not what men say,
I’ll labor night and day to be a pilgrim.

Attempting to post here is becoming even more of a fucking pain in the backside than commenting on CiF.
What is going on? Been got at you pair of old fat 70′s throwback poofs?
Man up ffs!
If I am the best that Tory HQ can think to put on Newsnight then we’re fucked.
What I find so funny is that labour had gone quite a way down the private internal market , and Lansley is near enough the only one who understands it wasnt an improving system , i reapeat Labour have not denied the basic of GP comissioning is what they agree as the thinking .
I am in disbelief that Lansley has saved the NHS from , total privatisation and medical groups cant see it , tin foil hats to left ,outstanding
Lammy and Hassan double act was interesting , got all rather hot , nicely rehearseh though .
How can an athiest tell the difference between a faith and no faith ? a little like declining insurance as accidents are myths ?
we should know …….. I think I worked out under which walnut the pea was 
If ambivalence has to be controlled en masse ,poltics no longer can be a divining of the truth …. always did think socialism would be shown as crackpot idea one day , I think they have inadvertantly shown us a glimpse of what the christian vanquished landscape would imply , busyly distracted, biological end user of perfect reason alone based authority . mmm How many cabinet members are backing that
S&P downgrades 35 italian banks and we all pause for breath for Sundays possible, maybe, in the pipeline, sort of , forthcomming, on the cards showdown in Athens
The UK High Court action by the Schillings law firm, acting for Nathaniel Rothschild in a libel claim against the Daily Mail and Associated Newspapers, was dismissed today by Justice Sir Michael Tugendhat. The ruling also undermines libel threats by Schillings acting for Deripaska against newspapers in South Africa, Hong Kong, London, and the US, setting a new standard for reporting on the business affairs of Russian oligarchs, their bankers, and public officials whom they attempt to influence.
damn
Lost another case for defamation…this is costing Nat Rothschild and co millions
It is high time British lawyers stopped trying to whitewash Russian oligarchs and their sidekicks like Mandelscum
Or is this the only way they can survive ?
Now that the banks are in thr shit
London lawyers are scrambling for income from anywhere
But they have lost their reputation already
Well, welcome to my newly downsized home. As you can see it’s got a lovely, modern, 8 foot square kitchen with an electric cooker ring and a cupboard. I can fix the broken door myself. The lounge has a lovely aspect to it looking out over the multi-storey car park. The traffic is quite busy and lorries scrape the paint off my front door but hey, it’s great. The bedroom is large enough for a single bed but I’m sure Sam will remember our younger days of snuggling up together. The bathroom is small, I know, but I can use my electric razor in the hallwaay and lean into it to have a shave. Sam’s fine about. We’ll manage
What do you expect for £26,000 a year?
the 26,000 a year you speak of is a maximum per family – it is not an amount anyone can claim
e.g job seekers is still only 67.50
you poor boy, go to the back of the class
Fat Cat Unions should pay their own way, not expect the taxpayer the majority of which are not union members to keep them in lifestyle we can no longer afford. Blame Labour.
Strange aint it, that MP’s expenses enthused the whole nation and resulted in cross party condemnation.
I don’t see LieBour or the Unions getting enthused at the waste of taxpayers monies, mayhap the reason being they are the benficiaries of the monies. But, its a damning indictment of so-called people’s independant representatives, i.e. MP’s, that those at Liebour have remained very tight-lipped over this scandal.
You don’t think they’ve been bought do you? No, surely not, in the 21st Century, with all the rules over Bribery and Corruption, surely a political party couldn’t be bought and sold like in some third world African/Asian tin pot dictatorship. Gosh.
Time for Pilgrims to be extirpated and the costs repaid.
It’s a scandal, and a wretched one at that.
The Most Beautiful Voice Ever!!
