I'll be the first to admit that I (and most of my field) is grossly overpaid when you compare what we do to more valuable work like nursing and teaching, but I'm not going to demand a 50% pay cut to stand in solidarity with the nation's nurses, especially when I know that everyone else in my field wouldn't be doing the same.

This dude with the super villain moustache straight-up said that his salary was exorbitant and unreasonable, and he did it on national television. I think that's pretty great. We should be having an open conversation in this country about compensation and working toward something like a wealth cap.

My only criticism is that this guy didn't use this opportunity to go that bit further. I mean, he's half way there already being critical of his own income, why not go all the way and say something baller like "No one should be allowed to make more than £100k/year"?

It's probably because he doesn't actually see a problem with his compensation, but either way, I think conversations like this should be encouraged and journalists need to pursue the topic of a wealth cap when situations like this present.
