Define "value"
refer Oscar Wilde and cynic.It is obviously not a monetary value as that is only paid by generators of it not consumers of it (even if superficially called Tax) as theirs is just recycled to the exchequer but obtained from said generators.

I used the word valuable in reply to a poster who used the term "invaluable" to describe the work done by certain public sector workers.It is obviously not a monetary value as that is only paid by generators of it not consumers of it (even if superficially called Tax) as theirs is just recycled to the exchequer but obtained from said generators.
Civilised society couldn't exist without either the private or the public sector.
(that doesn't mean it couldn't exist without, for example, people who devise and monitor disability legislation or health and safety at work)
So how do you define value?

For info...
There are 64.1M people in UK
23.9% are under 20
1.69M (2.6%) are unemployed
5.442M (8.5%) are public sector workers
16.6% are over 65
48.4% of the population supports the other 51.6%.
Sorry but a pet hate of mine. The Private Sector doesn't support the Public Sector. Or vice versa. In pure economic terms there is no difference between a Doctor/Nurse working for BUPA and one working for the NHS, there is no difference between a teacher working for Chavscum Comprehensive and one working for RuggerBuggers Academy etc etc etcThere are 64.1M people in UK
23.9% are under 20
1.69M (2.6%) are unemployed
5.442M (8.5%) are public sector workers

I worked for the public sector, and I know who paid my wages. Many thanks to all you taxpayers out there

Good God. She's introduced as a potential future Labour leader?

They really are in trouble.
Please PLEASE let them elect her once Corbyn is done with. It will keep them out of government for decades.Really?!!
They really are in trouble.
The only issue being that we do need an opposition.
