One repercussion of this is that because PAYE rates up there are so high, the council is effectively handing half that money back to the treasury so that they can pay off our debts which reduces the money supply.
Money is loaned into existence so for every pound out there, there is a pound owed. In the Bank of England's case (as it was nationalised after WWII) we loan it to ourselves.
Thanks for this information. Doesn't this mean that the Chief Exec of Haringey earns more than the Prime Minister? It seems to be assumed that anyone being paid these grotesque amounts must be super-people, but in my walk of life I've witnessed people on these kind of paygrades who spend most of their day gassing about extravagant luncheons they have planned. Inequality in this Borough appals me: if someone stood to lead the council on a ticket that there would be equal pay for all council employees, from street-sweepers to these bigwigs, they'd certainly get my vote
But the reason the prime minister's salary is relatively low (although try telling that to someone sweating away for a pittance in McDonalds every day) is because it comes under public scrutiny, whereas it's needed a Freedom of Information request to bring to light these characters raking it in at Haringey, which is hardly a council synonymous in the public mind with excellence. I take your point about CEOs of big companies earning much more than this, but to my mind this is utterly disgusting and should be outlawed. It's well proven that unequal societies are the least happy for almost everybody (try reading The Spirit Level), and my goodness the inequality in this neck of the woods is something shocking.
But John - that was my point - there is no need to request this information under a freedom of information request - that is misleading. This information is freely available and published on the Haringey Website - you can find it in a couple of seconds.
Well, I was just taking up the point of the original poster, Clive Carter, who I assumed made this FoI request for good reason. You're very welcome to nitpick and quibble with me, but do you not agree that to give these mediocre people this kind of money in a borough where so many are degraded, destitute and hungry is really quite obscene?
He didn't, John.
