Not Quite Right

I trust that Mr Hide will be refusing to accept his increased pay? After all, he obviously disapproves of the increases, despite the fact that the Government has precisely nothing to do with setting them. As a matter of principle - not that he's very good at displaying principles - he must now reject the increased pay that will be offered to him. He is not required to accept the raise, and this protest puts him into the position of having to put up, or shut up.
