*Le Sigh*

 Just downloading some light reading for while I'm away: "An Independent Review of Sickness Absence in Great Britain" and the government response - which I'm assuming elaborates on "That's exactly the take on the skiving bastards we were looking for" since it was commissioned by the ConDems in the first place, one of the co-authors was ex-boss of the British Chambers of Commerce and his co-author's job title was National Director for Health and Work.

(How exactly is it 'an independent review' if the co-author is a government employee?)
