Johnson says that TfL senior management is paid too much and needs to be

I wonder what that means for a certain LUL manager who posts in this
newsgroup :-|


If you're referring to me then probably not a lot in the short term. Who
knows what 18 months will bring. I expect that people rather more
senior than me will be in the firing line and it will be TfL HQ and
Corporate Departments that will get the most scrutiny initially.

It's when we get bus and tube strikes (both quite likely given the 3
year pay deal for LU has just ended and Unite are demanding pay parity
for bus drivers) that the fun will begin.

I can just imagine the election taglinea being written in Labour/Lib
Dem headquarters right now. "If this is what happens when one Tory is
in charge, can you imagine a whole government?" If Boris cocks up, and
the consensus seems to be he will, it could well scupper Cameron's
ambitions to be Prime Minister.


Consensus was that his campaign would be gaffe-filled, too...
