So, we should cap pay. No one should be paid more than £X. We do not know what £X is to be, only that it should be more (surprise, surprise) than Corbyn's own pay, of £140,000 a year* or so. Is this latest proposal meant to be serious, do you think? Or is he planning to sneak in a less radical proposal in due course, such as a legally fixed maximum ratio between the highest and lowest paid in an organisation, that people will accept with gratitude because it wasn't worse?
Best wishes, Strivax.
*As context, average UK pay in 2015 was around £27,500. Meanwhile, in 2013, out of the 60,000,000 UK population, one survey says only 300,000 earned more than £100,000 per year. Another survey puts that figure at 1,200,000 by 2015, with 50,000 earning more than £1,000,000 a year.
*As more context, my total annual income is around £6,700 in benefits, because I'm schizophrenic and therefore cannot work. But due to austerity measures I expect that amount to reduce to around £5,600 sometime this year.
