Bumper pay hikes for council chiefs

"The number of local council staff on six-figure pay packages rose 14% last year thanks to inflation-busting pay rises, campaigners have said. According to the Taxpayers' Alliance (TPA) annual "town hall rich list", there were 31 senior officials earning more than the Prime Minister and 219 paid better than cabinet ministers." -- AOL website

So let me get this right... last year during the recession when most other people were suffering redundancies, pay freezes and pay cuts. These f*cking waste of space mediocre sh*ts were receiving inflation busting pay rises and 31 of them were paid more than the most important politician in the country. To be a politician these days really does mean you have your head in the trough. It is utterly despicable... and they get the f*ck away with it!!!

Rant over.
