Fred the Shred's home vandalised...shame!!

Harriet Harman has claimed that Fred won't get his money, despite being legally entitled to it. She declared: 'It might be enforceable in a court of law, but it's not enforceable in the court of public opinion and that's where the Government steps in.'

Since when did this Government give a rat's bollock about public opinion?
 
I read somewhere that The Sun has an army of pea-brained chavs trained to chuck rocks at rich people's houses. It'll be Branson next.

Fairly easy to do actually, the Governement merely have to implement a tax change that makes bankers bonuses 100% taxable.

Given the mess they've left us in, the people who made the banking decisions don't merit a bonus.

Intersting snippet... 4000 bankers working in the city raked in £1bn of bonuses. You could imagine the furore if you swapped the words "bonus" with "benefit" and "bankers" with "immigrants".

Not all bankers are responsible for the current problems though. However, Im surprised there isn't a furore already with the amount of money the immigrants take in benefits on a regular basis without contributing anything to the country.
At least the bankers £1bn will be taxed and they will probably spend a large chunk of it in this Country.

Really? Not second/third homes in France/Tuscany etc. There's no way to say that they will Steveo.

I can imagine the furore my Lord, you and MK would be moaning that it wasn't enough. And when bankers 'rake in' bonuses, they are at least gainfully employed, as opposed to foreigners on the take who are just gaining at our expense.

I understand that the pension payments received by The Shred are excessive and immoral, but to have the politicians who presided over this economic meltdown claiming the moral high ground rather sickens me. I'm sure Mr Brown will be on a nice earner when we finally get to kick his sorry *** out of government. By all rights, we should be allowed to use his pension to help pay off the multi-trillion pound deficit that he leaves us with.

I was just trying to get a reaction form the Lord there MK.

I pictured him thinking of those rich city bankers sipping Champagne in trendy London wine bars
