Now I'm totally confused! Vic Spanner character in Carry On film played by Kenneth Cope (aged 82), but Bob Crow has died aged 52.

Snigger.
Is this true?
He said only yesterday that he was well worth his £145,000 a year.
Sharp as a razor still the last time I heard him interviewed, 2 weeks ago. He was probably on a quarter the salary of the rail boss, and all the execs would be on ten times the workers' money. And he had a role to play on safety, after the rail company started killing people by ignoring routine safety. I should think his salary was money well spent if you judge it by people's lives saved. Not so for NR's directors.

Be OK if he bought his own house rather than sponging in a Council flat.
Not a good argument that, do you know how many corporate heads and company directors live in much posher London homes owned by their companies, many rent free? And most unions pay for their leader's home, certainly the London one, so Crowe was actually saving his union lots of dosh.
Well paid boss in council house or corporate owned tax perk, which one is morally dodgier?
A well-paid person in a council house, without a shadow of a doubt.
Then there should be a law against it. And in my mind it's the former if anything. It's the very reason why London property prices have sky rocketed and people on 100k a year still can't afford to buy one.

There should be. It is totally immoral, greedy and hypocritical.
"Everybody out!"
There's actually an uncanny likeness there!
