Lord Digby back to his senses.

It doesn't seem like 5 minutes since LA was sitting in a room with Digby and Gordon Brown with Digby extolling the virtues of what a wonderful visionary Gordon is.

LA thought Digby had not just gone native,but clinically insane too.

It appears that distance from the Ministry of Red Tape has, however, led to Digby regaining his senses and starting to tell it as it is.

Following LA's recent rants on efficiency in the Public Sector Digby has sat before a committee of MP's and told them what he thinks of the Civil service.

He described the civil service as "honest, stuffed full of decent people who work hard".

But he added: "Frankly the job could be done with half as many, it could be more productive, more efficient, it could deliver a lot more value for money for the taxpayer.

"I was amazed, quite frankly, at how many people deserved the sack and yet that was the one threat that they never ever worked under, because it doesn't exist."

LA can only agree. If Digby can see it and say it why can no one else, or is a truth never to be told.

LA trusts the opposition will seize this, and who knows, maybe seize Digby.
