[Politics] Show some restraint

[davywavy]

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Alistair Darling, has asked that people show 'restraint' in their pay rises to help forestall inflation.
I dont' know about you, but this strikes me as the least-likely-to-be-followed piece of advice since "If you see a venemous snake, just stand still and it'll leave you alone" or "Never sleep with your ex".

But I may be wrong. It happens from time to time. What do you think?

I deserve every penny my company give me, and a lot of pennies they don't. I'm also better at managing my finances than the Government, and I have never accidentally mailed out my address book or left my laptop in a taxi. I think I take the money thankyou Darling!
