Fair Pay

Nick Cohen is infuriating. A textbook neocon most of the time, every so often he seems to move back Left, even if never for very long. And Cohen’s call today for no one in the public sector to be paid more than the Prime Minister is spot on.

Furthermore, we must ban any company from paying any employee more than ten times what it pays any other employee, with the whole public sector (including MPs and Ministers) functioning as one for this purpose, its median wage pegged permanently at the median wage in the private sector.
