Fresh from implying that we are 'greedy' for not wanting a pay cut, Boris Johnson has been embarrased by a deputy caught abusing the City Hall credit card [1] for his own comforts.

He seems rather less embarrassed by his Chief Executive's 11% pay rise and by his own £78 per hour salary.

In the face of such hypocrisy, Tube workers should not feel that we have to accept a real-terms pay cut, even if it is for two years rather than five. We are not the greedy ones.
