For and against national pay bargaining
The Guardian, 19/03/2012, p.7, Matthew Sinclair
Taxpayers Alliance director Matthew Sinclair argues that ending centralised pay bargaining would ensure better value for taxpayers, better services and a fairer deal for public sector workers overall. Research by the Centre for Economics at the London School of Economics has found that national pay deals can mean worse public services.

Daily Mail, 20/03/2012, p.18, Craig Brown
'The majority of Rolling Stones fans have been under the illusion that their songs are about sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll,' Professor Ricks said in a keynote speech to the London School of Economics last night. 'But for the past 40 years or more, the songs of the Rolling Stones have been principally about tax avoidance.'
