There\u2019s a lot of support, I know, for the striking nurses\/rail workers\/posties\/firemen et al. But you don\u2019t have to go far to hear quite a bit of \u2018you know some of them earn \u00a340,000 a year not bad is it and they get great pensions don\u2019t know what they\u2019re complaining about there\u2019s no money anyway\u2019. Well, public sector pensions aren\u2019t bad but are certainly not as good as they used to be; and most of those moaning wouldn\u2019t or couldn\u2019t do the jobs which they seem to think are cushy numbers. But it\u2019s the inequality of the whole darned thing (Life? The economy?) which these days does get my gander. The average Premiership footballer earns in a week three times the salary of the average nurse. The average FTSE CEO had a 23% pay rise this year. And it\u2019s not surprising that posties on \u00a325k a year find it somewhat enervating that Royal Mail\u2019s chief exec earns \u00a362k a month. There is, as there always has been, plenty of money around; it\u2019s just not necessarily in the right places. So. Power to the People and Freedom for Tooting! (kids etc.)<\/p>\n
