UK govt right to outsource everything 15 years ago – civil service boss

I realised that we were just as good, and in many cases considerably better than our private sector equivalents. Most of us also had pride in providing a public service, something that was lost when we were sold off.

Sums it up so well. Civil service and Local Authority frontline staff work their socks off for lousy pay, apply immense knowledge of their fields and commitment to sometimes impossible jobs and are then told that a big corporate outsourcer can do it better, for less. For no good reason other than politicians can't believe that anyone believes in public service. Because they have their noses in the trough together with the oustourcing companies.
