No no, the Queen is a special case, or so it seems. Last year we gave her an extra million pounds to subsidise her for the Jubilee Celebrations, so this year presumably we would reduce her income accordingly. That would only be fair wouldn't it.
But no - fairness is far from the thoughts of our government. They have generously and magnanimously given her an extra 16% on top of the extra million that she received last year. It is not exactly clear how they settled on this amount but I doubt that many will feel sympathetic for anyone who has to get by on a mere £36.1 million for this year.
As the government says, we are all in it together! But as with everything else they say you have to invert the meaning of the sentence to get to the real truth.
