He didn't award himself an 11% pay increase, nor was it sickeningly corrupt.
He is still a cunt though.

To be fair (which He isn't), He didn't award himself 11%, but all of them, regardless of affiliation, accepted 11%, while those of us in the NHS had our pay frozen. (And that was the point after all).
It really depends on your definition of "sickeningly corrupt":
I think most of us can agree that it's sickening.
Corruption can be perfectly legal & still be corrupt.
And yes he is still a cunt!

Do you not understand what the word 'corruption' means?
Or are you pretending to be thick in order to make a point?

OED: "dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power"
Don't you think it's dishonest to accept money when lying to the public about workers income going up?
It may not be exactly the definition you want or expect (but then I'm not a pedant), but yes, it is to make a point.

You're doing an excellent job of pretending to be thick.
You must have had a lifetime of practice.

No...
It would be dishonest/fraudulent to accept money while claiming that you're not accepting money.

It would be dishonest/fraudulent to say that average income in real-terms is going up when your statistics actually say it is going down.

However, neither of those things are the case. Also, neither of those things are remotely related to each other, therefore, what the fuck are you talking about?
