Exactly, it is actually none of your business how much i get paid and what terms and conditions I have.

Likewise it is none of my business what you do and how you are compensated for it.

Pay-scales and terms & conditions in the public service are every tax-payer's business. They pick up the tab, so they have a right to know their money is spent.

Not that there's an issue here. All that information is in the public domain anyway, or is accessible via FoI requests.

It is none of your business how much I get paid. You are not qualified to judge or comment on it. I am a tax payer as well, but of course according to you and that other heckler Deathknell, public sector workers paying tax means nothing.

So its none of your business to comment on td's, bankers, business leaders salaries and terms and conditions either so is it ? You also would not be qualified to judge or comment on these either I suppose would you ?

You seem more than happy to comment on tax breaks on pension contributions and such like it seems

How's that megalomania working out for you, Leftie?

But whether you consider it my business or not, all publicly-funded salaries are already in the public domain.

Well, that and the fact that she posted on this board already how much she earns, but now seems quite sensitive about it for some reason. I for one could'nt care less how much she earns!!

Oh. I'm sorry, you do feel you are qualified to judge. Perhaps you might enlighten us what it is specifically that qualifies you to do so.

Nothing to do with sensitivity.

I earn what I earn. But essentially I earn it.

You are not qualified to pass judgement on what I earn or deem whether or not it is excessive which is essentially what all this public sector bashing is about.

A P60 is only certificate one needs to comment on anything that's funded by taxes, including PS salaries.

I notice you've resiled from questioning the tax-payers right to know, comment on, or judge your salary. Now its just judge, right?

But please, stop acting like you inhabit some sort of higher plane that mere mortals cannot comprehend. While at the same time dispensing your diagnoses of megalomania. No doubt the irony of such quackery is lost on you though ...

This is tranparent fluff and nothing more.

I don't deem myself qualified to judge or comment on your salary, you should stop thinking that paying taxes is sufficient qualification for allowing you to do the same with regard to mine.

This has absolutely nothing to do with megalomania.

It is totally unreasonable to consider yourself qualified to judge or comment on a profession you know nothing about.

Therein lies the real megalomania, not pointing that fact out to you.
