Why should a civil servant in Sunderland earn the same as one in Milton Keynes. The cost of living in the Northeast is lower.

Exactly the same job, with the same interviews, requirements, policys, systems, experience required etc.
And you're talking about people on £18-£30k a year effectivly getting a pay cut while all the high earners are exempt. Stupid.

Easy saving for the govt - popular with everyone who isn't a civil servant. Lowest common denominator politics.
What's the difference between the above and London Weighting?

It's the difference between topping up and pulling down.
I don't agree with the london weighting, I think it would be much better to have more available and affordable Key housing within the M25.

So what's the difference between that and paying less in cheaper areas?

The point is whether you should earn less in cheaper parts of the country.

it's a piss poor indictment of where our priorities lay but if the money isn't enough, do something else.

They like to cherry pick the information so that people think that across the board all public sector workers have the holidays of teachers, the pay of council leaders, the pension of Fred Goodwin, etc. I DONT GET THESE PERKS IN MY PRIVATE SECTOR JOB SO WHY SHOULD THEY???

Which may or may not have some bearing on who makes some of the decisions on how it is spent. That is all.

They may not be able to draw much of it back as pensions though.
