Thieving public sector fat cat help themselves to more cream
The Times: Quango executives grab 20% pay rises
This one is designed to make the blood boil. Despite the downturn and the public sector being bankrupt, UK QUANGO chiefs have awarded themselves record pay rises of 20%. I see on John Redwood's blog he is is calling for 10% pay cuts for QUANGOcrats on over £100k and more for those on over £200k. I'd go further, these people are literally just stealing public money, they should be imprisoned, have their assets seized and their pensions taken away. This isn't deserved or earned income - its theft pure and simple.

I agree, in that I don't like the idea of a faceless "they" getting huge pay rises across the board.
That said... by what right and on what evidence do you say this income isn't deserved or earned? If you're going to start flinging accusations of criminal behaviour around then I want to see a damned sight more evidence than you have presented, i.e. more than zero.

Given the drastic state to the UKs public finances it would seem obvious that all in the public pocket have to take some cut just like those of is in the private sector.
