Public sector fat cats

[Dedworth]

Just watched an interesting Panorama programme on the staggering salaries these trough feeders earn.

There are 38,000 public employees earning above £100,000 and 1,000 people on more than £200,000.

* 38,045 earn over £100,000
* 1,000 earn over £200,000
* 9,187 earn more than PM
* 10 GPs earn over £300,000
* 1 GP in Hillingdon PCT earns £475,000
* 17 teachers earn more than PM
* 331 BBC managers earn more than £100,000
* 362 local council employees earn more than PM

Prime Minister David Cameron took a 5% pay cut when he became PM and earns £142500.

Staggering - I wish I'd chosen a career path in the public sector.

I hope the Govt is ruthless in slashing these obscene pay packages. A lot of these wasters wouldn't last 5 minutes in the real world of the private sector.
