100k eh, public sector then - give some of that to the next guy you pass at the lights. he might need some food.
Never worked in the public sector, I’d earn considerably less if I did. I said in that post I’m an advocate of an increase in the higher rate of income tax, both for the threshold I’m in and the additional rate.
That’s why I asked you what you’re situation is, as if you’re against any tax rises, is that for everyone? And everything?

I know it's only one day but hopefully a sign of a longer term pattern. How much has it dropped today?
About 30%.
No, what’s really wierd is, if you’re on 100k why you so bothered about fuel bills? - the topic of this thread, Oh, That's right! you're all about helping your fellow man - do me a favour, please!Never worked in the public sector, I’d earn considerably less if I did.

Weren't you just moaning about society being selfish? And now someone is saying they are happy to pay more tax and help out those less fortunate its weird.

Society is more selfish than it used to be because of 40-odd years of selfish, Thatcherite individualism. The attitude is, fuck you, Jack, I'm all right. Why should I pay towards the collective good?
Foster that for forty-odd years and then wonder why people put themselves first. I'm surprised people are as altruistic as they are, especially when they see Tory cronies stealing millions from the public purse. But that's OK of course because the Tory cronies aren't the despised public sector workers.
Put these in order of value to society:
a) A nurse.
b) Someone who arranges for the nurse to be paid.
c) Some cnut who rings me up trying to persuade me to change my broadband or insurance.
According to many, only 'c' is a productive worker. The other two are a drain on the workers. I say, fuck that! And fuck the horse it rode in on.
