Doesn't change the size of the pot.
It transfers funds from private sector workers who are loosing their positions in thousands per month to the public sector.
Many public sector pay increases were predicated on the gap between private and public sector.Especially the benchmarking fiasco.
The pendulum has swung in the opposite direction and the PS will have to take the hits with the rest of the workforce.
Especially the crew at the top.Most especially the crew at the top.

In 2000 the Women's Institute in Britain gave Tony Blair the slow hand clap to demonstrate their contempt.
It was dignified, restrained and effective.Doesn't Bertie deserve the same scorn. No shouting, no abuse, no agression just a relentless slow clap whenever he speaks in public would be enough to end that man's presidential fantasy.
If you agree copy the signature in to yours and lets get the whole country slow clapping Bertie.
