Would this be the same Boris who in the london mayor elections of 2008 called for a no strike deal with the tube unions,which he has not delivered on as yet.

So by that logic anyone in the armed forces deserves a huge increase. Bus drivers who are more likely to hit someone should be on 100k plus and paramedics should get a gold plated private jet for possibly dealing with some blood.

I work in the public service myself and have always answered the phone when off duty for free ie no payment.

The tube unions use their power no doubt but so do other vested interests wrongly in my view.
