    Putting in suspension the question of the association of 'facts' with the Telegraph, and even the source of the article, a report by the 'independent' Institute for Fiscal Studies (and nowhere within the article is there a link to the said report), I'll just highlight one of the report's 'FACTS', quoted by the Telegraph:

    '[The report] warned that as the gap [between public and private sector pay] closed there may come a "tipping point" where fewer quality job applicants decide to enter the public sector because they are put off by the lower pay.

    The report warned: "In the future, if public sector pay continues to be squeezed and private sector earnings growth returns to more normal levels, then public sector pay could start to fall quite substantially relative to the private sector. One would expect this to have a larger effect on the sorts of people going into public sector jobs."'

    If, as the report claims, private sector pay will overtake that of the public sector by 2019, then the gap is not that great in any case.

    Did you actually read the article, Captain?
