Bankers are not on a pay freeze and Mps most certainly aren't
MPs still have a gold plated pension better than a Final Salary one.
Bankers and CEOs get gardening leave when they are unwell, and a golden handshake when it goes on a while.

Why is it okay for them to get it but not okay for us to try and fight to keep ours, and perhaps try and bring everyone else up to our level, instead of taking us down to theirs.
