I think there is a contrary argument that moving to the private sector comparison merely reaffirms that there are a lotta people in this category (and in the country!) who have 'their noses in the trough' in a world where we have discovered the great divide of the 'haves' and the 'have nots' and that social division has been exposed and criticised in different ways and in recent times by huge numbers of dissatisfied and disillusioned people within our population. I believe this phenomenon will not disappear and, without moving into the polarised political position and divisive ideologies practised in this country, there is a bigger story attached to this issue and it's one that will not end well IMO!
