The post you are reporting:
So the bankers are the emplyers who decide their own wages!
Barry, you do not mention that one year ago the Government said they thought the Royal Bank of Scotland bankers should not receive the bonuses were giving THEMSLEVES, and that bankers at other banks in Britain should not receive such bonuses either, and that the Government "gave up" trying to put an end to this absurd bonus system.
They know it's wrong, openly said so, but then added "they couldn't do anything about it".
My view is that the Government does nothing about it because they tax these bonuses by 50%, and so half that money - amounting to billions of pounds - goes into the Treasury.
A sad way for the Government to get to tax revenues, by going fifty fifty with with banksters.
But as others have stated here, there is no poverty in the UK, and even unemployed people are not poor, because they can afford to wear clothes, smoke and eat.
That's why payday loans are increasing in Britain, where millions of desparate people borrow short-term from loan sharks because otherwise they can't keep up their mortgage and would end up on the street.
And yes, what an insult to people in Africa and India and elsewhere, we should all be happy!
So today I have learned that there is no poverty in Britain, because we can all afford to wear clothes, smoke and eat.
All I can say is: Come Divine Justice!
