Brave City Boss struggles by with 16% pay rise

As many workers in the UK need financial snookers to get to the end of each month, business leaders have been publicly empathising.

FTSE 100 CEO Oscar Oldroyd said 'My pay has only gone up to only £500,000 this year. Oh, my mistake, not up to £500,000, up by £500,000 to nearly £4 million. I am doing my bit though. I quite regularly have the air con turned down at my second tax-adjacent holiday villa in the British Virgin Islands.'

'In order to help fight inflation, I support the government refusing to budge on pay deals for nurses, doctors and whoever. These public sector do-gooders must accept responsibility for the fiscal problems that they didn’t cause. Haven’t they learned anything from the 2008 crisis?'

Compensation scheme for people taken in by dodgy compensation schemes

“My troubles started in 2010 when I leased a diesel Mercedes,” recalls Dave Turnip of Oswestry.

”They delivered the exact car they promised, and charged me just what they said they would. It was only later when I saw an ad that I realised I’d been conned in some mysterious way and deserved compensation.”

However, the whole scheme turned out to be a fraud, based on appealing to people’s greed and sense of entitlement to money for nothing. Turnip reports that the whole process took months, involved him digging out a lot of old paperwork and didn’t result in a windfall at the end of it.

Fortunately, Turnip reports, he’s now seen an ad for a company that can help if you’ve fallen for a dodgy compensation scheme.

“They’re definitely not fly-by-night shysters renting an office by the week who are likely to disappear with my money,” he explained. “And I know that because they say so in the ad.”
