Is the Chief Fire Officer Worth
£160,369 a year ?
We have in previous posts referred to the consultation co-ordinator as the "propaganda person" well seems we are correct in our assumption as yesterday morning we awoke to the Telegraph and Argus praising the fire service for their predicted underspend of £1.47 million after slashing its wage bill........... well we are very much aware of some wages that are NOT being slashed.
David Cameron, the Prime Minister is paid
£142,500 per annum to run* the country
* we use the term loosely of course
Simon Pilling
Chief Fire Officer, West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue
starts off with a basic ............£151,572
+ £1,572 expense allowance
+ £7,224 benefits in kind (lease car which is not taxable )
which in total amounts to
and where did we get this figure from
2011 /2012 statement of accounts

Lets get this in perspective a "bog standard, fire fighter" who works shifts, does the dirty work and risks their life gets an average of
Simon Pilling gets a £32,285 employer contribution to his pension every year, more than even a firefighter earns !
But it isn't just him - below are some other salaries that may shock you.
So we close this post with some lines that were sent to us - from someone who has like us got the poetry bug ........to the tune of Londons Burning - just in case you didn't guess

£160 thousand - christ i am not suprised he always looks smug.....
Simple answer . NO HE IS NOT
If we are indeed involved in a consultation process, Why has the Deputy Chief been to Haworth Station tonight 28/11 and informed them that Keighley Station WILL lose a Fire Appliance in April whereas Haworth will be staying open for the time being??????
I don't remember being consulted on that
On the wages scandal Mr Beckley, the Deputy Chief earns over £120,000 and only works part time, not to mention the interest he will be drawing on his massive lump sum payout.
They all go int same pot tha knows
