"There is something wrong with the public service if some employees are able to live off salaries well over £100K, or other salaries which allow very easy living, while others in the same service are unable to feed, clothe and house themselves. "

The exact same could be said of the private sector, the UK boss of my company "earns" over £1.5m a year - paid because "we need the best at the top in private companies" how can this never be applied to public sector? Why is there such a disparity between the top and the bottom?

That's what needs addressing before people complain about people on benefits living in "mansions".
