I thought we were all simply ignoring it for its lack of relevance.
That probably would have been the best policy in hindsight

But why should there be a difference? JK Rowling, Adele, Daniel Craig & Sergio Aguero are all staggeringly rich as a result of their talent (allegedly) and hard work. They may receive their financial rewards in different ways, but there doesn't seem to me be any moral justification as to why one should have his income capped but not the other three.[/QUOTE}
Who knows? The point i was making was that Corbyn was talking abut pay differentials amongst company employees'. None of those quoted appear to be directly employed. I was just explaining what the OP hadn't understood - I know Corbyn bashers hate it when the truth spoils a good smear but hey the can't all be Laura Kuenessberg
Or do you feel like that is because ceos tend to vote tory, whereas it's alright for these labour luvvies to earn as much as they like.
The issue is the disparity between the exceptionally rich and the poor/ jams.
I have no idea why you think it's ok to disincentivise the custodians of the working people's pension pots (which ceos are) by capping them but anyone not working for a company can earn as much money as they like?!
If Jeremy and his cronies feel so strongly about it perhaps they could forgoe their salary to the average uk salary and set an example to us all. Oh wait no they can't dianne abbot won't be able to afford her children's private school fees then, will she.
Why did he specially reference football then?
"The fuckers???" Dear God.
You're living in a paranoid parallel universe. Salaried people on £250k pay PAYE. Get over it and stop being so bitter...

Exactly. It's the singers and actors being defended on here that will pay as little tax as their clever advisers can get away with.
The CEO's don't have a choice.
Corbyn's idea is to close the poverty gap by making the rich poorer. He needs to start concentrating on how to make the poor richer which I haven't heard him mention a single thing about beyond borrowing tons of money and handing it out.
I don't doubt that - Jimmy Carr is a fine example. However look at former CEO Sir Philip Green - he had a choice. Stuck loads in the wifes name registered in Monaco to avoid UK tax. Did as much as he could to be "tax efficient" when running BHS and left it in a fine state when he sold it on. The CEO's who's rewards when compared with the lowest paid in their organisation has gone from a differential of around X90 in 1997 to a multiplier of over X200 last year obviously did that in order to pay loads of extra tax............. laughable.

The best way to get the poor out of poverty is always through jobs which means supporting businesses and the people who run them. Corbyn will slash at businesses by increasing minimum wages, taking top earner salaries away... He is anti-business and anti-jobs basically.
Restricting someone from £1M a year to £350,000 a year has zero benefit bar making certain people feel better in their spiteful, jealous heads.
