Robot civil service

THE civil service seems the obvious place to replace humans with robots in the workplace (Mail). The Home Office and Treasury would be good places to start.

Imagine robots scurrying around the seat of power, uttering an occasional ‘Exterminate! Exterminate!’

But what benefits: no salaries, London weighting, pensions or working from home. Nothing would be lost intellectually. Bring it on! GoRDon MoRRIS,
