    Whilst TFL is Livingstone's flagship quango and he almost certainly put the high salaries in place it will be Boris who will have to justify them..

    meanwhile, at The Valley, we are still top heavy in the 'executive' department.

    That explains it then. A leak to Boris's former comic to pave the way for this announcement. Not soft is he!

    Paying executives big salaries and raising the money by massively hiking up fares. How is that "smart"?

    Being smart would be to cut their salary's or give them the 'tin tack' altogether.

    As David Cameron will find out in due course, I suspect!

    I cant believe they are putting the fares up again, and by such a huge increase!!... Stick the tossers on the Northern Line in the morning and then see if they can justify the increase.

    Except that it would probably breach any number of employment laws and cost the country millions.

    [quote][cite]Posted By: FTP[/cite]I really can't understand why LeftBehind is always claiming to be skint then, down to his last £50k[/quote]

    Mate im always skint unless i have a grand in the pocket otherwise i just feel poor like the rest of you common people, and the bank balance is a little under £250k so things are tight mate i cant get that new Bentley yet, unless i get rid of one of the servants.



    Talking of money or Bob Crowe i would be happy with the pay rise that was offered back in March in the present climate im just happy to be employed, so stop all this crap about striking, TSSA accepted it and im sure ASLEF wont be far behind them.

    I want my money you fat useless c**t.

    Pisses me off that RMT are stalling the pay rises im not even in a poxy union but they still can block me getting the pay rise im happy to accept.

    Rant over

    [cite]Posted By: FTP[/cite]Same with the Post Office, they don't seem to realise that there are 2.5Million + unemployed.
    Mind you it is sickening that the bankers are back on big bonuses whilst taxpayers money is still owed to the treasury for bailing them out after they cocked it all up for everyone.

    Agree the postie's need think very carefully about what they do in the current climate. But read the average wage is £345 pw while their Chief Exe (Crozier) is on £3m a year! Enough to piss anyone off.

    We was told at the start that the Congestion charge was not a tax/money making scheme, it was only put in place to cut traffic. I remember hearing from Livingstone at the time that if it didnt work then he would scrap it. Well, he raised it from £5 to £8, so what was the raise for? It was either that there was still heavy congestion so he had to raise the price to try and stop people driving in, if that was the case then the congestion charge was not working as no mateer if people had to pay if they needed to drive in they would. If on the other hand he just raised the price for no other reason, then it would make it tax/money making scheme. Another example of MPs pulling the wool over our eyes.

    You cabbies must be pissing yourselves today (the ones on LBC earlier certainly were) about the fare rises, and how it's good for the cab trade as it's now seen as cheaper to be in a cab

    So do you think Boris emplyed all of the people on over 100k then? The black hole in tfl finances has been known for over 2 years now, but ken didn't want to tackle it ahead of his re-election, sound like another labour politician we all know and love? Leave the problems for others to sort out as usual.
