Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostI saw that too, I kind of agree with the mum who was annoyed at being singled out for driving her 3 kids to school when some arsy city type can drive just himself across town in a BMW X5 without anywhere near as much hassle.
The protesters that blocked the streets outside Buckingham palace looked like they had come down from the trees at a proposed Tesco site just to be annoying somewhere else for a change, I doubt many of them would usually even use a bike.

Some of the big bankers only earn a salary of £250K pa. However they're annual income is in excess of £30,000,000. Don't see the New Lie having a go at them for "fairness".

Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostNo surprises there but I feel slightly embarrassed when I saw the people who clear sewers and the poor soles who prepare bodies for autopsy were in the 10-20k bracket, I wouldn't do either for 20x that.
46k will put you in the top 10% of earners and that same 10% earn 33% of all income.
It was interesting to see the top earner on £23m only took 300k in salary!
