Be afraid. Be very afraid. The company in question are EDS, and they're
almost certainly going to be the folk who get to implement the database
behind the new ID card....


No need for fear at all, then.

EDS are notorious for designing computer systems that don't work, as
anyone
in the Revenue, the DWP, and many other government departments will tell
you.

10 years after ID cards are supposed to be introduced, look forward to
the
government minister explaining shamefacedly that in spite of spending
£9000
million on developing the system, there are still teething troubles that
mean that no ID cards have actually been issued...

It's a sad state of affairs that companies can make more money by
leeching off the government with bad projects than it can by actually
delivering on their promises.


EDS actually told the CSA that there was nothing wrong with the computer
system they designed, but that the staff were using it wrong - just over
12 months ago, they set up a model office to prove the DWP wrong, then 12
months later closed it because they couldn't make it work!

Major problem was they paid their staff much more than the DWP staff, and
now want to integrate them into to the CSA, can't reduce their wages, so
the government will be paying them their higher wage while they work side
by side with civil servants on a crap wage - bloody government!!!!

Not bitter and twisted!

Civil Servants deserve a crap wage.
Good pay, excellent pensions and total job security all together supported
by the taxpayer is an abuse.


Errr - and civil servants don't pay tax? or take abuse from the people who
pay them? or work bloody hard and still get slagged off by the media?

Perhaps some civil servants need to work to keep a roof over their families
heads rather than sit on there behinds and claim benefits for the 10 kids
they have to 10 different fathers, none of whom they can remember the name
of, but who actually live with them so they can carry on claiming
fraudulently, all at the tax payers expense.

Admittedly civil service management might not deserve a penny that get, but
the ones who are on the front line taking crap on a daily basis deserve
double what they get!
