He never gives up, does he?
Tory ‘call me Dave’ Cameron – descended from King William IV – really thinks that the way to curry favour with the British public is to play the ‘lower, lower!’ game on bank bonuses. Dave is trying to underbid the government on the banks’ bonus payout shambles, which just shows once again what a vacuous political opportunist he is.
Keeping in favour with banking fatcats, underpaid bank staff (can’t believe we said that) AND the British taxpayer & voter must be a real dilemma. Give it a few hours, though, and no doubt that dynamic Scottish duo (surely some kind of oxymorons…) Brown and Darling will come back with an even lower bid… let’s cap bonuses at £1000? £50? £4.50? How low can you go and not lose the bank clerk vote, while still retaining any credibility with the rest of us?
The answer to the question about ‘how-much-should-we-allow-them-to-have?’ is NOTHING.
Not for the fatcats. Not for the bank clerks. They’re all still bloody lucky even to have jobs when so many of us HAVE LOST OURS because of their greed and mis-management.
Read the lips, Dave. NOTHING, nada, zilch. Got it now? Pass it on to Gordon and Alistair.
