Wages are due to come down in the north, cause the think tank don't think you need as much and aint worth as much - listen to the news (local)

Public sector workers in the North "should not get the same pay as those who live in the south" and they wern't talking about London It may be on BBC local news, but it was on "Calender" just now

They don't. IT management and teaching staff in schools get far more down south.

Meh, there has been a "North/South divide" for years, always has been, always will be.

I somehow doubt I'll emigrate to that London any time soon though, even though I have a Brother who lives there.

I'm from the south, but I'm disgusted if this is going to go through. them and us again, how long can we stand it - North v South - and the North always comes second.

So are the wages actually being dropped for public sector workers 'in the north', or was it just someone 'thinking' they should be dropped?

I'm not sure I understand - someone has said they don't think the north should get the same wages as the south, which they already don't?

I was thinking the same,

Is it because living costs are higher down south.
Or are living costs higher because wages are higher.
