Cuts? What Cuts?
Are you paying attention plebs? No? Well it's time you did. Why? Well, we are truly living in a golden age: the Age of the Bedroom Tax - an age where food banks are all-the-rage and our public services are being squeezed back to the 1930s. But how is our wonderful unelected Head of State doing in this golden age? Well, apparently she - and the other hangers-on - seem to be immune from Tory austerity as 'The Sovereign Grant Fund' (i.e. the replacement for the 'Civil List') for 2015-16 has just been announced (very quietly) and, lo and behold, they've scooped a 12.3% pay rise! See here for this joyous news.
This is such a good deal that the calculation is actually rounded UP to the nearest UKP100K by UKP35K, to a staggering total of UKP4.1million in total (for 2015-16). That should insulate those at the top of this stinking pile from the local food bank...
