I'm thinking of the 15 or so people I personally know from my workplace who left last week due to redundancy as a result of budget cuts of much less than £80 million. They are amongst the several hundred or so will join them shortly. Some I know face no future in work again in this economy and the rest of their lifetime on jobseekers and likely penury. They are the wrong side of 50 but can't draw their pension for another decade. Years to be spent on the sidelines of life.
That puts £80 million into context for me. If its so little, throw some of that my way and I'll take it off your hands. Its probably the price of several thousand public sector jobs plus a decade of a range of childrens services.
