Is it just me or does it appear that the British Government are participating in what can only be described as "robbing Peter to pay Paul"?
Amid all this talk of cuts to public spending, including the NHS, Child Benefits and Welfare, we, the public, are expected to turn a blind eye to the billions being poured into Banking Institutions in an effort to bail them out.
While I can see the sense, that we all, every country, requires banks to display a healthy level of economy, it does not seem right to me that this should come at the expense of the poor. At the very least, I would like to see the Government stipulate that if we are to cut jobs and make our poor poorer in an effort to help, then the bankers (pardon the spelling, having problems with the w key on my keyboard) themselves should be prepared to give up their massive bonuses. What right do they have to claim massive sums when they are the ones who are effectively stealing the milk from the mouths of our children and the bread from our elderly? Why do Governments persist in being held to ransom by their pleas of "you'll never get anyone as good as me to do the job for less" You were crap in the first place! Maybe it is time for you to go stand in the dole que and wait with the other poor sods you are robbing and let someone with an ounce of common sense run the show. An ounce, that'll be 100% increase on what we appear to be buying now.
Phew. I love a good rant
