    But this doesn't give them the right to demand high pay for very basic jobs.

    Now it's just an opinion of which work has higher worth. Work is basic but workloads vary. I'm not saying everyone should be able to have the same wage as a brain surgeon. But just because some work aren't "skilled" they're automatic low pay, other factors should be considered.

    So you think you should all be millionaires with private jets just because you push paper around for 30 minutes a day between yapping and playing solitaire?

    This is exactly the problem with the public sector, you all think you deserve better that everyone else despite having little or no skills and being incredibly lazy. I used to work in an environment full of ex public sector workers and I can tell you I am not exagerrating in any way.


    There is no solitare on computers

    The government borrowed 8 billion on our behalf last month, that is about 133 GBP per head, well over 500 GBP for a family of 4.
    I hope you are all making plans to pay back your share, I'm not offering to pay more than my share. Perhaps it is time to emigrate?.
