That story doesn't say the top 10% of people have had a 12% increase in income. The story says the CEOs of the FTSE 100 companies (so 100 people) have seen a 12% increase in income.

From the BBC


The household at the 90th percentile (that's the one for which only 10% of households have a higher income) has seen its income fall by about ?60 a week. At the other end of the spectrum, the household at the 10th percentile has seen a ?2 per week increase....

But anecdotally and logically - the top 10% contains all of those that tax rate went up from 40 to 45% and all those families that lost Child Benefit. Not making a political point - I think that both of those measures were OKayish in the circumstances, but I think you're confusing the super-rich and PLC board members/CEs with the top 10% when there are big differences. Clearly the top 10% still earn far more than the bottom 10% by a massive margin....but the vast majority of them (the top 10%) haven't got richer in income terms.

My main beef is with the top 1% anyway. The corporate heads who've made a killing from the decreased overheads as a result of things like workfare, reduced labour costs overall due to employment instabity and an increase in unemployed people willing to accept anything just to get a job.


Many have hoovered up businesses that have gone bust and when they bother to actually pay tax, regular corporation tax is only 20% with tax on dividends only 10%.


The number of millionaires has dramatically increased too, so I still think that there is all-in-this-together shite.


Sources are from all over the past and tucked away in the back of my head, but I'll post any I come accords (which I do fairly frequently).

    • I'm surprised no-one has helped you.  There have been at least two or three threads on the topic in the last couple of years. I'm afraid they'll all confirm that you assumed wrongly.  I remember looking into it myself and finding nothing to assist anyone who made the same assumption. While recently having a look through the Townley Road appeals decided in 2023, I came across this determination that also clearly spells it out. 31/3/23 Reasons     Mr X appeals against two Penalty Charge Notices. He argues that they have only been issued in order to make money for the council. Mr X states that the restrictions were introduced to make it safe for school students in the morning and afternoon and that as both 26th December 2022 and 2nd January 2023 were public holidays there was no purpose in enforcing the restriction. The appellant states that he was driving to collect an elderly relative. Townley Road is a route that is for buses, cycles and taxis only Monday to Friday 8-9am and 3-4.30pm. The restriction is in operation every Monday to Friday whether or not schools are on holiday or if it is a bank or public holiday. There was no indication on the sign that the prohibition was not being enforced on either Monday 26th December or Monday 2nd January. I have seen the CCTV footage in relation to each contravention. I have also  seen photographs of the signs and camera car footage that show the signs  and warning signs. I find that the signs are clear and that there is sufficient  warning of the restriction to enable a driver to take an alternative route. I find that each contravention occurred. I refuse both appeals.
    • I suggest you write to the estate agent asking specific questions and request a written response. Otherwise they will tell you anything to get a sale.
    • Hello, I walked past this a few minutes ago on the corner of Shawbury Road X Lordship Lane. Had a look, put it back but then saw the cut security chain as well 20 meter down the road and thought someone definitely is missing at least some handlebars. If they are still there when I come back I can take them in as I live on the next street, please DM me to arrange pickup if they belong to you.   --- UPDATE: 20:02 PM, it's still there.   I've decided not to touch it again or take it with me as it's oily and the wife will not appreciate it.
