What would you do with £60,000?

High Court Judges are in line for a whopping £60,000. There are numerous articles in the press but here is the link to the Independent one

Everyone in the public sector has had "pay restraint" but nobody is telling the judges to show restraint. They are already thought of as remote from the people they judge. Even the way they dress sets them apart from the human race. This will just put an additional barrier between them and people on an average wage.

There is allegedly a problem in recruitment and a bribe of £60,000 is supposed to cure the problem. Teachers, medical staff and the police (etc. etc!) are not being offered this bribe. 

The government can wash their hands of the whole matter and say that an independent review body came up with this one. The problem is the government can pick and choose which independent review bodies they listen to. Will they listen to this one? If so it is their choice.

One more reason to get rid of this ramshackle apology for a government.
