If they use pounds per hour as a computed value from pounds per year, then we are the best paid indeed. However, they should exclude per diems from the figure, which they have probably included. That money is not for working, it is for not being at home like any other citizen. It is another story.
But I don't believe the executives make less than us. That's rubish. By the way, when are they going to invent low cost executives?
