Indeed it is a national outrage Alex. The FTSE 100 directors paid themselves on average a 49% salary rise in the previous year, a staggering rise which has alarmed Mr Cameron..while the workers are hamstrung at 2 or 3% if they are lucky..again, if they are lucky. (FTSE 100 are the top listed companies on the stock exchange..pronounced Footsie 100, just to be clear to anyone who isnt sure).
Here is the Prime Minister this morning on the Andrew Marr Show.
You are also right Alex re talk of jail for the excesses of offenders who took the money and ran. No names no packdrill..but the Mail on Sunday had this story on their frontpage. George Osborne the Chancellor is with Cameron on this one and is looking at the process...so the machinery is beginning to be put in place to not only rein in the excesses, but with prison a possibility where the excesses bordered on the dodgy.
