Take a look at this link. The huge building in the middle is the job centre plus, (or whatever it's called these days). In Scotland these places are commonly known as 'the buroo'.
Just. Look. At. The. Fucking. Size. Of. The. Building.
It's ma-hoo-sive. And it serves Kilmarnock and the surrounding area. A population of perhaps eighty thousand people. Most larger towns have them.
If any illustration is needed that the 'public sector' needs slashing this is it. How many people are employed in this building? Fucking hellski. I bet it takes the annual GDP of Bolivia just to run this one alone.
I noticed today when passing that the local Labour MP, Cathy Jamieson, has an office directly opposite the entrance. Next door to her is the office for some Labour wannabe muppet, (I can't remember his name).
Entirely coincidental I'm sure...

Splendid.
I bet the number of people working there vastly exceeds the number of people they have 'helped into work'.
PS, why not embed the map into your post? You'll find the code in the top right hand corner of the map. You then just have to fiddle with the height/width settings to get it to fit properly. h 400 w 329 works for me.
Tried it numerous times Mark but it kept buggering up.
Jobcentre Plus is not just the Jobcentre that the public see.There are loads of useless cunts beavering away in their own little offices doing nothing of use whatsoever other than crossing off the days until they can get their gold plated pension.
Bastard the lot of them.
I haven't looked in a while, but there used to be a Google Earth tag on the one in Duke Street (I think - East End somewhere, anyway) proudly boasting that it's the biggest state benefits office in the world.
In. The. World.
But, as I overheard a bloke saying in Sauchiehall Street the other day, you have to be “thick” to think that the (government's) deficit is the government's fault. Nothing to see here, move along now, give us your money, everything's fine...
Rab, I was in the Job Centre in Kilmarnock once about 3 years ago and it was off John Finnie Street. The fucking thing must have moved and it was big.
It's moved and I think you must have been their last visitor!
