I would like to see the people who decide that these jobs are needed talk to the council tax payers. I would also like to have the people who are 'successful' in getting these jobs talk to the council tax payers to justify their new highly paid positions.

Anyone who applies for these jobs wouldnt stand a chance in the real world.
