... Readers will no doubt accuse us of being spoiled....
Nah ....... do you think?

A 'journalist', receiving £80,000 and £100,000 a year, thinks she is entitled to this (she's not) and a lifestyle beyond her means. Somehow I think few will cry when she loses her cushy position to someone who will do the same (minor) job for £25k.

Not another stupid DM article, you should get a life instead of reading that tosh, and it's even worse if you consider it important in any way, the only thing the DM is useful for is emergency toilet paper.

Are you not horrified some cannot afford designer shoes and a taxi? I blame socialist wealth redistribution.

She should emigrate. You can live like a king in Oz on 100K (Quote from my interview for a job back in 2007)
