Executive pay has risen from 60 times the average pay in the 1990s to 180 times the average pay today.

Do you think the filthy rich should have their salaries capped? Should they be taxed more than they are at present?

Do you think that reports like this affect morale in the work place?

We are all aware of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer; but how many realised that the gap was so wide?

It's all part of "The Big Society" which "we are all in together" ;-)

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

Yes, this 'big society' where, last year, the leader of Hampshire county council got a pay rise that is over twice my yearly pay, whereas I've been on a pay freeze for 5 years.

There's 'equality' for you. I wish I could foist my work out to 'consultants' like he does, as well.
