George Osborne - unreal promise?

Was having a flick through some news pages over lunch and found an interesting list of things that the Shadow Chancellor said he would introduce should the Tory Party get elected...which they probably will...the one that caught my eye was this one:

"Saving £3billion a year, by the end of the parliament, by cutting the costs of Whitehall bureaucracy."

It was also inferred that the Tories want to save £7billion over the entire lifetime of a parliament. Sorry to say it, but I just don't see it happening...and I mean that in every way...how can you cut the cost of bureaucracy in a place that is built on it? (Heaped on it!)

Great promise, but as with all potential manifesto promises, it's hard to fulfill...I think we'll wait with our lungs full of air...don't you agree?
