Why do some people in the public sector get paid  twice as much as DC?

Anyway....different day...I'm out.

Because there are no private sector alternatives to David Cameron's job. The wage for a public sector worker working for, say the Treasury, is high because they need to compete with the wages offered by the financial institutions. Those jobs require a similar skill set and education, so the Treasury needs to make it worthwhile for the people to choose working for them over working for, say, Goldman Sachs, or Barclays Investment.

The same goes for high level public sector workers across the board. The NHS is competing with Bupa for health care specialists, but also just for managerial jobs in general with the private sector.

How about no faith schools at all?

One can dream...

What's the point of Faith schools anyway?

I mean... shouldn't relgiion be taught in Church?

I mean we have private faith schools in the US... but that's mostly a byproduct of how crappy public schools are I think.

simple solution, ban private healthcare. (education too)

sadly, the current goverment wants to create more of them in the UK.

they should be banned.

yep, Healthcare is NOT about making money, its about providing a public service, same with Education, you dont need a private sector.

So everyone is instead stuck with the standard shitty options... rigggggght.

Oh, and also... government now has no incentive to improve those shitty options since they now have no competition.

Brilliant idea.

they will improve them because people will want better education, and in a decent democracy, the government will listen and invest and impove both healthcare and education.

if you are saying that the USA/UK are not decent democracies, then I agree.

It does seem silly... specialists and managerial staff in NHS are likely paid more to put up with NHS not to compare vs competing groups.

I mean, fun story here... in the US they blame private schools for stealing all the good teachers and they we need to pay more to keep good teachers in public schools. 

Fun fact most people don't know?   Private School teachers get paid less.  Private schools get all the good teachers, not because of the rich elite pooring piles of money into the schools... but because teachers there actually get to teach.   You spend a lot less time with buocratic red tape and forms... and a lot more time.... teaching.
