When he refers to consultants, is that hospital consultants (who are of course not civil servants) or "others" presumably providing some sort of specialist advice (or indeed does he mean both of the above?).

What has his brother got to do with this issue?.

 

His brother is/was a perfect example of "Civil Service Fat Cat". So, John's rhetoric is not only meaningless but tainted.

 

his brother is/was in private practice as an accountant !! or should i ask how many brothers does he have?, i am not a shimmin supporter in any way.

Not the one I'm referring to. I'm talking about the one in charge of our economy (with Bell) for the decade leading up to our current financial crisis before retiring with a golden handshake.

Just out of interest, what is the consensus:

 

1. That our MHKs are just the puppets of our corrupt Civil Servants?

2. Or that our Civil Servants are just carrying out the evil work of their greedy overlords?

 

It seems to switch depending on who people are defending on that day.

Compared to 2008 every single salary level has seen an expansion in numbers:

.............................2015/2008
300,000-324,999 1/0
250,000-299,999 2/0
225,000-249,999 4/0
200,000-224,999 14/1
175,000-199,999 22/8
150,000-174,999 18/13
125,000-149,999 25/16
100,000-124,999 40/28
75,000-99,999 120/53
50,000-74,999 577/413

 

291 more people earning over £50K per year.

 

Assuming people earn the mid point in the salary bands the salary of the highest paid public servant has risen from £212,500 to £312,500 - a 47% increase.

 

Obviously there is wage inflation ... but it doesn't signal a decrease in bloat does it!
