WAGES

So the government thinks we should all exercise pay restraint – Except for MP’s, except for pensioners (many of whom do not need it – certainly not more than other public sector workers). I fully back the doctors, the lawyers, the airport workers, the railway workers, etc. The right wing press crows about wages over £50000 as if they should take a pay cut and are just being greedy. The wages are commensurate with the job, skills and qualifications – I do not see the trash press campaigning for reduced wages in the City (actually they want them raised!), or directors to show pay restraint.
