Taxpayers money innit.
Easy saving for the govt - popular with everyone who isn't a civil servant. Lowest common denominator politics.

What's the difference between the above and London Weighting?

London weighting was because the wage of a lot of NHS staff was below the living wage for NHS staff in london.
It's the difference between topping up and pulling down.
I don't agree with the london weighting, I think it would be much better to have more available and affordable Key housing within the M25.

But it's there to offset the difference in the cost of living.
So what's the difference between that and paying less in cheaper areas?

Because most of these poor cunts earn fuck all as it is.

That's not the point.
The point is whether you should earn less in cheaper parts of the country.

Because it's based on the principal of everyone struggling the same amount
not everyone being as comfortable as each other. And that from ultimatly an employer is callous and immoral.

What do you want then?
£100 an hour?

There are better paid jobs, try and get one.
