Do As I say, Don't Do As I Do

Thus tweets the official Twitter account of the GMB Union:

"It's lunchtime on the third working day of 2019 and fat cat bosses have already been paid what typical workers will earn ALL YEAR.

We're calling for action on CEO pay to reduce the gap between the country’s highest and lowest earners."

Meanwhile, Tim Roache, the General Secretary of the GMB pockets a scorching £263,000 a year - nearly £100,000 more than the highest office in the land - that of the Prime Minister. All for just a spot of hypocritical posturing.

The so-called Fat Cat CEOs earn eye-watering amounts. This is very true. So bleeding what?

And yes, they do buy flash cars, which are built with billions spent on R&D and engineering, parts sourced from hundreds, if not thousands of ancilliary suppliers and manufacturers from all over the world, involving millions of people - from miners digging out iron ore, steel workers turning ore into useful metal, tanners making leather for seats, rubber tappers harvesting sap for tyres, petrochem scientists making paints and lubricants, and millions in the servicing industry.

They employ thousands of people. They pay millions in business rates. They pay employer's contribution of National Insurance, which is in essence a penalty for having the gumption to give someone a job and a wage. Just think about it. You have to pay the government to employ someone.

These Commies will be the end of us, I tell you.
