Nick Cohen raises his level of poverty wages!
Regular readers will know that Nick Cohen believes an income of £100,000 is difficult to live on for "standard young couples" in London, whom he terms the "less fortunate" (see link and then comments for a version of the original post). That's household income, for a couple, in Britain's expensive capital. Obviously ludicrous, but in the Evening Standard two weeks ago, he went further. Talking about a game show apparently called, "What's My Wage", he said:
Except that I hear that the wage limit is 100,000, which is frankly a pittance in Gordon Brown's Britain.
So now it's £100,000 per person, and across the country, not just in London.
