fugtifino Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 It didn't say that capping top salaries will give me any more No, like I said, you'd have to crunch the numbers for that. Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling (remember those 2 financial genius's?) were the ones who started chucking our money down the failing banks' black hole. And much, much more: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1531448/Browns-raid-on-pensions-costs-Britain-100-billion.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fugtifino Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 A timely article about why executive pay should be curbed: http://www.independent.co.uk/hei-fi/views/christina-patterson-lets-seize-the-chance-to-curb-high-pay-6273348.html If we can't shame these people into claiming salaries that are a bit more in line with their performance....then we'll have to change some laws.

observer Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Perhaps we could borrow Baz's rope, and hang these shisters from every tree and lamp post in Canary Wharf? The example might serve to change the culture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Some things never change, Asp, still saying we should have let the banks fail and be left to market forces, As highlighted when the Icelandic banks failed,councils hold money in banks as do governments. No government of whatever colour could have let the banks fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theinsider Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Public sector workers who are planning to go on strike again damaging our zero economy still further should be taken out and publicly flogged in front of their families! Did I hear that somewhere else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
