"Bonfire of quangos"

From the BBC:

The government is to unveil plans for a "bonfire of quangos", with up to 180 organisations expected to be abolished.

That's 180 down and 520 to go.

Update:

I love the headline the BBC had to go with this:

Quango reform will cost jobs, warns Maude

To which I can only say: Good!  Hopefully, it will be everyone on a quango payroll.  Let them get a proper job.
