This joke government we have gets worse by the second. And let’s not forget that it was definitely not in pole position to start with!
Bear in mind the way it has deliberately involved itself in DSA decisions to close minuscule local driving test centres in ridiculously isolated areas (when these have to operate at a huge financial loss) and keep them running, it has now decided to close ALL regional DVLA offices – which will put around 1,200 people on the dole.
Of course, we mustn’t let the cynic in us take over and argue that shutting DVLA offices isn’t an issue when it comes to winning votes at the next elections, whereas keeping tiny rural DSA offices open (when the DSA wants to shut them) is a massive vote winner.
The closures would take place “by the end of 2013”. Right alongside the double-dip recession we’re facing. So those losing their jobs should have no trouble finding other employment!
