Wow 60k to 100k to drive a tube train

This ^ why would someone be against a fellow working class person earning a very good salary. Typical of the race to the bottom clan in this county.

Do you consider £100,000 to 'just' be a very good salary?
What sort of salary should a brain or cardiac surgeon be on?
What about front line ambulance and A&E personnel, who save lives every day, while low life scum are vandalizing and stealing from ambulances and abusing staff?
It would be great if everyone could get paid £100 grand, but who then gets paid lots more and how can a country afford that?
It's not a race to the bottom that people are advocating, it's just the country can't afford a perpetual race to the top.
Who takes financial responsibility in any household to best 'make ends meet'? Or do people just spend totally freely as they wish without the capacity to afford their spending. Do you have a yacht, a house in the south of France and a Ferrari?
Most likely the answer is no, because and I can't afford it.
We 'have' to live within our means, otherwise we go bankrupt. Someone has to be responsible
The country has to do the same.
Running the country is the most responsible of jobs and you have to run it responsibly and that includes financially.

After reading this I thought I’d have a look at what the prime ministers salary is I can’t believe anyone could accept train drivers earning 100 big ones a year it’s fecking ridiculous and yet these bastards want to cause havoc to thousands of people’s life’s by getting paid more

There is no doubt they are high earners but a tube driver's average salary puts them around 95th percentile, so 5 percent of the population are earning more than them. There are ~30 million tax payers in the UK so around 1.5 million people are earning more than the average tube driver. Somehow these ~3000 people appear to be the sole beneficiary of your anger towards high earners. If this is the case then I would suggest that you might wish to broaden your horizons beyond what the newspapers report.
