Of course he deserved it because he did such a fantastic job....... His predecessor and his wife got the same.

I wonder, did union leaders teach bankers?
You could at least have used a smiley's after fantastic job, I seem to remember the leader of the TUC at the time saying Arthur went into the strike with a big Union and a little house and came out the other side with a small union and a big house
