You have to remember when someone on £200k gets a 5% payrise he gets a £10k increase.

When someone on a £25k average salary gets a 5% payrise he gets a £1.2k payrise.

The bigwigs below took 7%, the riff raff nurses took just 3%

The world is not fair.

Of course not. But in the private sector it's even less fair, because there these high flying manager types would probably get paid three times as much - maybe five or six times more. Public sector managers are actually underpaid by a considerable margin when compared to the private sector.

Yes, yes I agree. Everyone who has worked hard all their lives should be taxed at 100% so I can sit on my aѕs, do nothing and get everything for free.

That seems more than fair to me.
