Ahaaaaaaaa!
He said: "I came into office two years ago and inherited a mess.Ahaaaaaaaa!
"The system is a muddle. It should have been faced up to and dealt with by previous administrations."
Typical. Been in charge for 2 years and blames his predecessors

Hmmm.....

A few things spring to mind:
Article said:
A council pay survey report showed that Birmingham's road workers are getting paid between £42,000 and £53,000 per year, more than many of their white collar counterparts.
So who are the real mugs here, then?Article said:
The extra incentives also mean that workers like street cleaners, and one staff member described as a "bollard cleaner", can more than double their basic pay to earn £36,000 per year.
So in fact they only earn £18,000 a year, but can get a lot of extra cash by working shedloads of overtime. Much like a lot of other jobs then.968 said:

Can't imagine a medical specialisation paying so little on normal hours.

Non-consultant pay is pretty poor, on the basic rate, it's the on calls and overtime that add to salary, however, hospitals are downgrading the level of cover they provide, so that they can pay us less and minimize their salary bill.
