The Observer | Business | The red herring of red tape

Caulkin is generally very sound on management. This article exposes some of the self-serving nonsense put about by businessmen when discussing de-regulation. Here at the Circumlocution Office we worked out in the 1980s that the competitive advantage offered by the private sector consisted chiefly of screwing down the pay and conditions of outsourced workers. You only had to listen to the howls when TUPE came along to see that they had nothing else to offer.
