@Rainmaker1973 OMG - some of the posts here are breathtaking in terms of their ignorance of very basic science. These people are allowed to vote, drive cars, operate electronic devices, breed even. Should I laugh or cry?
@SJAMcBride Sam, why don't you do some journalism and benchmark her pay against that of a CEO of a PLC with similar number of employees or turnover? You'd get no change out of £3 mil.
@NewtonEmerson I assume your comments reflect your investigation of the issue. So, you favour putative penalties for the 3 people caught last year engaged in minor, unintentional breaches of environmental standards? What's your view on the appropriate penalty for littering - public execution?
@SJAMcBride There are 226,000 public sector workers in NI. Let's call the cost of employment for that (pay, pension NI contributions, etc) a conservative £11 billion per annum. So, over 'several' years, employment disputes have added roughly 0.025 per cent of the costs of employment. Yawn.
@SJAMcBride Get real, Sam. True journalism died years ago. All that's left is clickbait and poorly informed opinions masquerading as facts. It's just another entertainment platform - and one that's failing, Bel Tel included. Your tweets are a giggle, definitely not flagging serious analysis
@SJAMcBride I wonder what journalist made the FOI request in the first place, and for what reason. Whoever it was is keeping a VERY low profile. Any thoughts Sam?
@SJAMcBride@pressgazette@edwardlmccann Are you being serious? Not clickbait? It's your business model, and not a very good one if 10k subscribers is all you've snagged. The sums just won't add up to sustain the business.
@SJA_McC Was with you to the end, then saw you were only joking. NIAO staffed by failed journalists. Unproven assumptions leading to foregone conclusions.
