15 year old war veteran...

How did you manage to turn this into an attack on the public sector? :LOL::LOL::LOL:

Huge numbers of people in all sectors embellish their résumés.
 
It's not an attack on the public sector. If you have ever worked in a role needing security clearance, you will be aware that they are meant to check this stuff.
 
So I'm guessing by the lack of further replies a few folk have toddled off to "update" their CV.

You don't seem to be making an actual point, so there is nothing so far to discuss. Can you clarify what it is you are saying?

My reading is that you can be sacked and even jailed, if you got the job using false pretences.

Best not do so as, if head count needs to be culled, having a fictional CV would give the employer an open goal.

And is MBK saying that can only happen in the private sector? I was struggling with what he was getting at in his OP. Hopefully he will clarify this later.

But the real issue is the lack of rigour in vetting. In the private sector, not only would you get sacked, but you might get prosecuted for Fraud.
 
AIUI This brings into question any arrests or prosecutions he has been involved in since he started wearing it too.
 
Updated my CV. (y)

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what's puzzlin' you is the nature of my game
Stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Tsar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank, held a general's rank
When the Blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
Oh, yeah
Ah, what's puzzlin' you is the nature of my game
Aww, yeah
I watched with glee while your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades for the gods they made
I shouted out, "Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all, it was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reach Bombay
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
Oh, yeah
But what's puzzlin' you is the nature of my game
Aww, yeah
(Uh, get down heavy!)
Pleased to meet you, hope you'll guess my name
Aww, yeah
But what's confusin' you is just the nature of my game
Mmm, yeah
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me, have some courtesy
Have some sympathy and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste
Mmm, yeah
Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name
Mmm, yeah
But what's puzzlin' you is the nature of my game
