Voting Conservative not the solution Just in case the Tories want to make capital out of opposition to the New Labour candidate S. Booth, I'd like to point out the following: Under the New Labour government, top pay in the private sector has risen from 47 to 81 times average pay. This is of course unforgivable when there is such real poverty in the country. However, Cameron's 68 captains of industry who are whining about the proposed tiny NI increase are of course on huge incomes. For instance, the NI increase would cost Marks & Spencer £10 million. Their new boss's 'golden hello' bonus is £15 m. Yet Cameron proposes only to cap top pay in the public sector at 20 times the lowest pay. Only 100 people in the public sector will be affected. The obscene profits of the bosses will remain untouched. The rest of us will pay for them. Never forget what Toryism is all about! We might have an appalling 'Labour' candidate, but the answer is not to vote Conservative! The Conservatives are not part of the solution - they are part of the problem! Update from Mick Piggott I'd like to add a few more facts about the pay of bosses in the private sector: Matt Emmens, Shire Pharmaceuticals, £10m These figures are given in just the one issue (the latest) of the Business liftout from the Sunday Times. These figures represent the tip of the iceberg. The tax paid on these huge sums is minimal and often non-existent. The three main parties tell us Britain is in debt, and that public services must be cut. Quite simply, they lie. There is enormous wealth in the hands of a very small minority of people. If they were made to pay their fair share of taxes there would be no problem. Say, 99% on all income above £250,000 p.a.? Does anyone think that a quarter of a million a year is not enough to live on? Most of us, and certainly the society in which we live, will be impoverished in order to allow these parasites to keep their obscene wealth. This is a Tory philosophy: one which is shared by New Labour and the Lib Dems. Would Steph Booth deny this? |
