Labour have increased the number of “Policy and Strategy” officers employed by the Council to five. Their salaries add up to £286,809 a year.

Among them is Kevin Caulfied – he also runs the “Hammersmith and Fulham Coalition against the Cuts”. He appears at the end of the film clip. Perhaps he might reflect that there would be more money for services – including to the disabled and other vulnerable borough residents – if there wasn’t this huge sum spent on salaries for Policy and Strategy officers like him.

So if you want to get a well paid job with the Council musing about policy and strategy all day then it would seem you best route in is to set up some agitprop group complaining about austerity.
