No profit and loss, no shareholders, no legal liabilities, no new product development, no start ups. Taking over something that's been running for 200 years and is funded by council tax vs. running a company have nothing in common. I guess you have zero experience of company life whereas we are all hostage to crap council services.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733583.post-75318256341082752832011-02-23T23:02:53.530+00:002011-02-23T23:02:53.530+00:00..and it only happened anon because of tory ".....and it only happened anon because of tory "free market" fanatics. <br /><br />Why doesn't Pickles demand there is a new maximum pay scale for all CEO's?

Never mind the Executives of the FT 100 who are paid 60+ times what the lowest paid get.<br /><br />Never forget that there use to be a widely accepted "maximum pay" for CEO's agreement in Local Government until Tory Westminster and Wandsworth Council broke it and started to pay "the market rate". <br /><br />The hypocrisy of Pickles to now complain about the market his Party created.John Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14269161145575667147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733583.post-37884383708329402482011-02-20T10:12:32.758+00:002011-02-20T10:12:32.758+00:00What's your view on the council leaders who ar...What's your view on the council leaders who are being paid hundreds of thousands of pounds then? This all happened under Labour - was this the right priority?
