  "more profitable private sector"
  
  This is where the whole idea falls down.
  
  This phrase, and many others like it, sound wonderful and oh-so simple. Even an idiot can 'understand' it. Just what an individual understands by such trite 'truisms' depends very much on the individual though.
  Understood entirely differently by Roger's brother and his employers.
  
  Perhaps a far better mantra would be, "increased turnover" and let the pre- and post-tax profits fit the circumstances.
