A jobsworth is a person who uses his or her job description in a deliberately uncooperative way, or who seemingly delights in acting in an obstructive or unhelpful manner.

Yer, I heard this on the radio the other day... the fools.

a further description of 'jobsworth' is a useless busybody who will be amongst the first against the wall when the revolution comes. Pity we can't put all of them on a spaceship and launch them into deep space. The red cross monkey lawyer being interviewed also talked about how nurse costumes (ie party fancydress clothes etc) were also braking the law as regards the red cross...
As it was described anyone not specifically authorised to wear/use a red cross on a white background was braking the law and detracting from the reputation the red cross has in conflict zones around the world... I guess no one told the guy about the cross of St George then.

I must admit to having been called a one myself on numerous occasions.

The person doing the calling never seemed to take into consideration they weren't listening or constantly interrupted warnings/advice to be quiet and listen to said advice.....never mind the fact they were breaking the law in some way or other
