RPA Laying Off Whilst Defra Pour Money Down The Drain

Words fail me. Almost...

Just a day after it was revealed that the hapless chumps at Defra are currently blowing nearly GBP5 million/year on empty office space, the RPA have announced that they are to close the Newcastle office which processes the single farm payment scheme applications.

Thirty one staff will lose their jobs on the back of the move, hopefully they will pick up their cheques before they go rather than wait for them to be posted.

Reports that next year's SFPS applications will be fast-tracked by a three-toed sloth called Arthur remain unconfirmed.
