    It's just the Home Office pitching for an increase in their budget

    Surely it's not news that the Home Office is piss poor at processing and actioning claims

    It was pretty **** under Labour and the caseload has grown by 70% since. The great thing is that now they have companies like Serco and Capita helping so, with the increase in efficiency and capacity that the private sector brings we'll be fine.

    undertaking a programme of painful cuts, hordes of undocumented foreigners is a good way to get conservatives to approve of a little more Big Government.

    Anyway, that's what I'd be thinking. After all, it's not about results; it's about *work*.

    The story is a cynical fabrication by Whitehall to milk more taxes from us you say? Damn those

    venal Home Office mandarins and their wily, machiavellian ways. They've bamboozled me again.
