What do the public actually want, magic?

Yes, that's it! An ipad for every child.

Depends. How much does it cost?

I suppose it is a bit rich to moan about the mediocrity of English state schools, then moan about the remuneration of someone who, against the odds given its location, runs an exceptionally good one.

Well, as he is salaried he would have paid quite a bit of tax on that, perhaps £60k.

As others have pointed out his pay for the year was actually about £92k including overtime, and an extra £50k for a special project, which in total is not much more than a c# contractor in the financial services sector would expect.

Is it any wonder the British education system fails to attract the brightest and best when this is the outcry that follows the revelation that someone who runs a whole school gets paid a bit more than a code monkey?

Apparently the parents feel the sky high ridiculous salary is 'justified'. How much tax are they paying ? I bet they dont pay a penny as taxex.

AtW has been spying for years. He has so far told his Moscow Masters all of the different colours & brands on knickers all of the women on his street wear.

He has also sent back some samples, but I believe he has kept the best for himself.

Vintage MF!

Why is it that the PM's pay has suddenly become some sort of magic yard stick by which all other salaries should be measured?

Ofsted seem to think the guy is very good at what he does
The £100k for "special" projects was for work over 2 years and he was getting overtime + arrears.
If you average his income over the past 2 years he was probably getting 150k
If you average over the past 3 years and his next years expected income it'll probably average to £120k

Now that Labour and their cheque book are out of power he's even less likely to get any special payments in the future

Or should I say 'Durdlay'.

'Turdlay' more like!

[Doggy Styles]

Is there such a place now?

Your name is really Alec and your from Bromsgrove. Come on, we're all friends here. Admit it.

The accent in his posts is more Dudley. Or should I say 'Durdlay'.

Well chin up..............keep beavering away and one day we might let you go home to them.
I'll start a facebook appeal up along the lines of those spy exchanges. Maybe we could trade you in against a few sheafs of wheat??

So remind us then, your family were allowed over here out of sympathy, or to remind us how lucky we are?

I remember the last years of Soviet Union - 1989-1990: they had special vouchers/stamps to get 1 kg of meat per month, 10 eggs per month, 1 kg of butter, 1 bottle of vodka - the queues were about as big as you now get in British Post Office

Your soviet teachers got a loaf of bread every month and 1 pound of butter every week. No feckin wonder you are so stupid.
