Massaging the figures: the Public Sector Rich List

Clifford Singer exposes the Taxpayer's Alliance data on the public sector rich list for what it is - bogus and inconsistent data.

More importantly, as he notes:

If the TPA showed any concern for the lowest paid - for example by supporting rather than attacking a living wage - the Public Sector Rich List might appear less like another cynical attempt to undermine the public sector in general.

Remember what the Taxpayer's Alliance is: a far right pressure group from beyond the fringes of the Conservative party, funded (it seems) by the Institute of Directors, at least in part, to undermine the fabric of our society as represented by the welfare state with its inherent logic of a universal right to education health and well being.
