| 'City Spivs' are part of the most productive sector of the British economy in terms of revenue contribution to the Exchequor and foreign exchange earnings. They are paid high salaries because the boards of these companies on behalf of the shareholders think they are worth it. Despite what is often said taxpayers' money is not used to fund these salaries.. Yet our money is used to bail out the banks when it all goes wrong....see; http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/feb/25/bonus-rbs-bankers "Loss-making Royal Bank of Scotland inflamed the row over City pay today by revealing that more than 100 of its top bankers were awarded bonuses of at least £1m last year. Even as the bank insisted its £1.3bn bonus pool was the lowest it could get away with, the RBS chairman conceded that a "good number of people" had received £1m each even though the bank reported a £3.6bn loss for last year" Sorry, but no one is buying this crap anmymore about how great the city boys are for the UK economy. They are paid too much, because they have too much power. And do you really want to debate the crap that Durkin put foward, the rather long, scary political broadcast for the Tory scum and Lib Dem slags?! Isnt he the guy that made the shock horror doc about how there is no such thing as Global Warmning....a right wing shock horror doc man!! Anyway, WHO do we owe this so called debt too..and why do our creditors enforce repayment? Thats the real question will need to look at. |
