THE pay rises given to top people in industry and government departments is obscene.

I can't see the Government doing anything about it but I suggest that everyone concerned is given the same percentage rise. This will still mean the top wage people will be getting a more generous rise than the poorest. To me this seems very generous and fair to all. I beg of the Government: Please end this growing differential between the rich and poor
