The costs are greater because market forces rule. I think there should be some intervention to preserve housing in inner London for those that service London i.e. dustmen, shop workers, bus drivers etc.
Illegals by the nature of being illegals are outside the system, the minimum wage doesn't apply. Whoever pays them anything is breaking the law.
Hi
London Weighting is crap and in any event totally irrelevant to costs throughout the UK.
A £34k salary a year in Bradford, Swansea or North Shropshire gives you a completely different standard of living to Bristol, Bath, Reading etc, never mind London.
£34k is the starting salary for a Qualified Officer, £25 k for part Qualified, average is £37k.
Skinflint Kingston Upon Thames are advertising at the moment for part qualified on £28 to £30 an hour.
The Royal Navy are offering this.

£55k a year after two years.
Equivalent Pay to an Army Major, not bad for a 25 year old who gets their skates on and gets registered.
Get yourself Expert Witness Status and you are quids in.
The Government needs them back, offering £35 an hour, or £65,000 a year full time.
No Pensions, no sick pay, no Holiday pay.
The same Government is advertising via Recruitment Agencies at £135 an hour.
Staff are paid £80 an hour, or £149,000 a year, with the recruitment agencies getting a profit of £102,000 a year per officer.
If anyone an explain the logic of this, please explain it to me.
I am at a complete loss how to do so.
