Most British workers have seen their take-home
pay rise in real terms in the past year, the government claims.
It has produced figures showing all except the richest 10% saw their
take-home wages rise by at least 2.5% once tax cuts were taken into account.
That is more than the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation rate of 2.4%
in the year to April 2013.
Once again a government has been
uber, uber, uber selective with the figures it chooses to use to back up a
point and try and make itself look good, but as always the paper they've chosen doesn’t come close to covering the cracks.
What I don’t get about this is that
every government is armed to the teeth with spin doctors, and pr people so they
must all know that no matter how selective they are with the figures and no
matter how they present them, everyone will be able to see through them and
realise it’s bollocks and yet they persist in doing time after time, it all seems rather
futile to me.
