Teacher pay award may be reviewed (BBC)

Who do they think that they are?

The reason that inflation is rising is because people are spending too much, borrowing is at an all-time high and as such we can expect interest rates to rise.

However for teachers to ask for a pay rise because of this is wrong - I bet few other companies will be offerring their staff a larger pay rise because of the level of inflation and they will in turn be getting a pay-cut.

It's the way of the western world - get used to it, do you job and get on with it.

Hungate Council Set To Use Purchase Powers (from York Press)

This is a complete disgrace.

By all accounts the York Bedding Company is a thriving local business and I can't help but feel that the York Council just want to move the company from what is it's successful HQ so that people who will buy the expensive apartments (and pay extortionate council tax) wont have to over-look a factory.

It is especially galling when there are other properties that really do need a CPO applying to them in York - thinking the old White Swan Hotel on Piccadilly.

Come on council - put your own house in order before you start dictating to others.
