The usual justification is that the extra money is because of the extra responsibility, but at his level that just means making an insincere public apology, "resigning" and fading out of the public eye on a final salary pension. It makes me glad I consume comparatively little oil, mostly indirectly. But you are right, we all have a share of the blame for this kind of thing as the price of our lifestyle. It's a shame it doesn't get more people thinking along these lines.Dr C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10234078254243840589noreply@blogger.com
