People in poorer parts of Britain to be paid less

They do get paid more, well a teacher in London has a minimum of 27k whereas n Manchester its around 21k.

so your saying that two wrongs make a right?

There's alot of differences, the very fact that they can be paid whatever the hell their employers want because they are in the private sector is Cardinal, many people chose to work for the public sector for this reason. I'm not compared to side up on this issue until the full picture is seen, though its true the private sector may earn less base pay its also entirely possible that overtime pay, bonuses and holidays are longer promotion prospects may also be better. Im not saying its right that Private sector workers get paid less I am saying that if two public sector workers do the same job they should get the same pay.

Is property values the only justification you tories can dream up?

One of my uncles was talking about this in response to healthcare earlier.
People who've been through years of education to become a doctor will find that their qualifications will be worth more down south and in big cities, so they're all going to apply for those jobs in order to get more money. Therefore the competition goes up in those areas, and all the best doctors are in the big cities.
So those in rural areas get the ones that aren't as good, don't have as much experience etc. and therefore places that are already disadvantaged because they're cut off from the big cities get even more disadvantaged because when they need to see a doctor (and some rural areas often only have one doctor in the area) they see a doctor who is not as good at their job and doesn't have as much experience as someone in a big city will be able to see.

Yes, becasue it's extremely fair to take yet more money from the countries weak and fragile local economies and leave the more robust and healthy areas untouched.

It makes me angry. The conservatives are nothing but selfish people who only love themselves. Churchill would be disgusted if he saw what his party has become. Labour on the other hand, I cannot wait to see back in power.

How's about a little acknowledged concept called fairness?

And so that the private sector, which generates the wealth to pay for these public sector perks, isn't being disadvantaged by articially high salaries to compete for staff with the public sector to reamin competitive.

The fact that the government is damaging private business in a recession where we need the private sector to grow us out of this mess is an outrage and should have been outlawed years ago.

That good enough for you?! Now please give me 1, just 1 good reason why the immoral status quo you support is just?

Although cars, food, petrol, gas, electricity are all the same prices everywhere. The private sector wants to pay its employees as little as possible.

£30k a year in Liverpool I could have a swish holiday once a year, good size city centre riverside apartment in a safe area (next to merseyside police HQ is about as safe as it gets. There are **** loads of police there and criminals know better), decent car and comfortable living.

Wonder whether you can get that for £30k in the south east.

I doubt this would go through in any drastic way. It's really politically sensitive and the conservatives didn't exactly win on a landslide...
