It's odd isn't it? These groups of extremely well paid people who declare that they earn and deserve their huge salaries, bonuses and all the perks of the job because of their superb performance - are the very ones now shaming Britain.
We have the Bankers - the poorest people in the country are being forced to pay back for their mismanagement, the rest of Britain having bailed them out already so that they could continue their telephone number payouts. You should not call it a salary when it's more like winning the lottery - every year, and equally undeserved.
We have the oil companies - knowing they had despoiled Nigerian landscape and economy and the lives of many Nigerians who dared protest, they nevertheless were permitted to move on to pollute another huge area of the globe, bringing Britain into further disrepute. I wonder how much they contribute to the British economy -and is it worth it?
We have the World Cup debacle, ludicrously overpaid footballers, who appear unbothered to make the effort required even to match other years' lacklustre showing, demoralised, soft and simply not hungry enough to perform.
- and we have the politicians, fiddling expenses, involving Britain in a war it never had a mandate to enter and now, a Government elected by mistake, busy slashing the lives of its citizens to ribbons in a desperate effort to cobble together the credit rating of the country so they can borrow more - to pay each other bigger salaries, maybe?
Performance related pay? Where did that idea go? If we stripped this lot of the salaries they did not earn or deserve - I don't think there would be too much of a budget deficit left. I can hardly wait for winter.
