Competition: Let's have a quango BBQ

September 21, 2009

Quangos - don't cha just love 'em? These quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisations are popping up all over the place. No-one really knows how many there are - the government reckons about 790.

Whatever the total number is, they are hungry beasts, devouring huge amounts of our cash. And their appetite is never sated...

The Tories have promised a 'BBQ of the quangos' if and when they get the keys to Number 10 next year. But why wait until then?

Guru wants to know what the most pointless quango is. What's the most obscure, ridiculous collection of men in suits that swallow up taxpayers' cash?

Send your nomination and why you think it should be thrown on the BBQ. The best wins a delightful Personnel Today polo shirt.

About Guru

Guru is Personnel Today's notorious HR commentator. He's been working in HR for far too long and observes every passing management fad with a mixture of anger and amusement. His blog is the one thing saving his long-suffering wife, Mrs Guru, from having to endure too much of his ranting about the big HR stories of the day.
