The world's worst newspaper in another triumph

An informant tells me that the Daily Nazi has an article screaming about a doctor who earns £290,000 and 'hundreds' earning £190,000. The greedy life-saving bastards. 

Now I know some medics very well indeed. Some of them are indeed Freemasons, Tory-voting, golf-playing, privately-educated gits who would undoubtedly read the Daily Mail if they weren't slightly better-educated. However, even this wing of the medical profession is worth £300,000. 

'The consultant in question is a breast surgeon' according to the report, on a 'basic salary of £120,000', plus £90,000 for 'clinical excellence', being 'highly productive' and he receives another £40,000 for doing 'overtime' and having an 'onerous on-call commitment'. What an evil parasite. He spends all day undertaking serious, radical surgery to remove cancers, takes on a lot of overtime and has to spend a lot of time in a less-than-salubrious hospital on call, and then receives a decent wage. Fair enough. I'd rather he lived in the lap of luxury and turned up to work full of the joys of life, rested, steady-handed and equable, than have him moonlight doing cosmetic surgery or a paper round. I wonder if this story is covertly based on suspicion that this surgeon is of a foreign persuasion… they come over here, saving our lives… I wouldn't be surprised, given the Mail's track record.

We pay for their training and they save lives. If we have to pay any sector of society a lot of money, it should be them (and the nurses, who are often far more down-to-earth and informative). We don't see articles in the Mail whinging about lawyers earning multiples of this amount of money. Man City are about to offer Kaka £24 million per year for being good at ball games. 

The editor of the Daily Mail earns £1.62 million. It is unclear how many lives he has saved this year. 

Meanwhile, the owners of the Daily Mail, presumably the most concentrated bunch of racists outside the BNP given the output of their papers, are selling the Evening Standard to a Russian billionaire who used to be a KGB agent in London. Funny how principles dissolve when money's around.
