More than 950 university staff, including all vice-chancellors, were paid more than the Prime Minister – an eight per cent increase on the year before.
One senior administrator at Oxford was given a salary of almost £600,000, thought to be the highest-paid university post in the country.

If you don't invest how can you get anything out? It's always some few greedy vultures exploiting and taking everything.
What shocks me the most is that people don't even feel bad about doing it. They have this attitude of "well, I'm the big boss so I deserve to take everything." Just because you are the big boss, it doesn't mean you should be so greedy!
Greed and incompetence is ruining the UK. It's really pissing me off.
