• How did a man with such a fundamental lack of understanding regarding tax and statistics get himself a job earning ยฃ80k?

  • The question on everyones lips.

    Dissapointing Richard Burgon got rattled and didn't double down and stand by the statistics. Should have been quite easy to put that guy on his arse, on air.

  • As above tax is hard to understand and you are only likely to make the effort to understand it if itโ€™s causing you particular stress.

    But itโ€™s unlikely heโ€™d be doing office / clerical .Possibly high personal risk work like oil or something that pays by the amount of jobs you do, ie plumbing / gas etc.

    Willing to bet a big chunk of junior to mid devs are equally blinded to be fair. You understand what you need to. Fair, they arenโ€™t earning 80k but by measures they will be intelligent.

    Oh and value is contextual.

  • Wages on the whole have more to do with supply and demand than ability and intelligence.
