birthday gift for everyone on their 72nd birthday. 'Soylent Green' and a bowl of strawberries as well.
Paul1405,
Don't be too hasty in dismissing that.
I have long said that bureaucrat salaries are over the top & all public service pays need to be reduced or taxed at a higher rate for the next ten years if we were to ever get close to a level playing field. A pay should reflect a public servant's worth not reward their career climbing connivery.
Funding to Art is a no no & foreign aid should be in the form of goods produced here.
I have also many times advocated Govt run Lotteries which have a monthly wage as a prize instead of expensive properties & cars. Imagine the living standard by freeing up jobs whilst no-one's unemployed. There's just so much that could be done if only we kept academics out of politics.
