> Bankers/Academics go to the UK and make twice the money

Academics does not make more money in UK than in Germany, in fact for junior positions (PhD/Postdoc) they make less. Full professors seems to make more, but I rumors say than new professors in UK are making significantly less than their older (boomer and older) counterparts.

With academics I mean people with a phd working in the private sector, not professors ... But you are right about Germany taking proper care of public servants. My German gf makes almost double the amount of money compared to her Dutch counterparts over here.
