DC in PMQ just now calling for no civil servant be paid more than 20 times the lowest paid (or might have been the average)....you're on th eright lines - now extend that to the private sector (well, taxpayer owned "private sector" for a start) :y

Private sector is completely different, although  the point could be argued regarding temporarily taxpayer funded businesses.
Hardly applies now anyway as the share price in the banks concerned has now gone above the point where the taxpayers could (in theory at least)sell their shares for a profit.
Of coure a taxpayer who was a bit shrewd could have bought shares in said banks when they were below 20p and then sat back and waited for the inevitable rise.Makes more sense to me than to keep moaning about it. ;)
But as a principle, the day the govt. decides salary levels in private companies, we are completely finished. UKSSR. :(

I should add that I completely support his appraoch to beginning the ask of unhitching carriages from the gravy train, which new liebore turned from a smallish type loco into an enormous almost endless out of control bullet train, with enormous engines fuelled by grossly unair taxation, including my pension fund which I put my own money into for many years. I might as well have used the money to drink my self into alcoholism and then sat on my arse and lived on incapacity benifit. >:( >:(.........If I were him I wouldnt so much unhitch carriages from the gravy train as blow the bloody train of the rails. :)
