Plenty of these top earners are Scottish but again they are based in one main region of England!!!! This resurrects this age old debate re the UK and the perception of two (or three) separate countries based on the wealth and investment in their regions - it's a f###### joke and it was blatantly exposed in the previous referenda!!! Re the going rate and top earners I'd counter that argument with the words 'one big gravy train' but only for certain favoured people and I'm damn sure there are lotsa unrecognised entertainers and media people who will not be given a 'sniff' at joining the 'gravy train' and would certainly take far less money. That leads to the 'nub' of this debate which actually centres on wealth and proper wealth creation throughout the country - well explained by a famous Scottish economist, Adam Smith, together with many other past historical figures of similar minds. We live in the 'I'm alright Jack' culture and it sucks TBF - wonderful to be part of it, being one of the 'few', but for the majority of people in this country it's a 'pipe dream'! As said previously, there is another story to this whole debate and it centres on proper management/governance of wealth creation and providing for the majority of the population and stop pandering to this elite group of people (not just the entertainment side) who comprise a miniscule part of the UK population and yet influence the economics of this country in the wrong way - to suit their selfish needs and values and f### off to the rest of us!!!
