Poor Settlement

In my part of Wales at the moment they're talking of closing down three High Schools (we've only got five), they're also talking of closing down hospital wards and in the recent cold weather B roads (and even main roads actually) were not properly gritted - also pavements were not touched.

This is all because of a 'poor settlement' the local authority has received from the government.

The government is giving 'poor settlements' because it's skint.

It's skint because it bailed out the bankers.

Plain and simple.

People are dying (no exaggeration - hospitals, icy roads) and children suffer BUT the bankers who have caused all of this are still getting million pound bonuses.

Come the revolution...

Fat Cats Grow Fatter as People Line up to Kick the Posties

Read this and weep. As people join in the kicking and grinding into the dirt of the lazy postmen (on £8.50 an hour) the bankers who have ruined the country (just last year actually) are now getting wonderfully huge bonuses once again (Goldman Sachs is paying each of it's bankers a £440,000 bonus amongst other disgusting absurdities).

When the government and Royal Mail (aided by the press and public opinion) batter the postmen into submission it will be one up to the likes of the bankers and greedy fat cat bosses in general - the boss of Royal Mail by the way earns £3 million per year.

The less money and more work that people like the postmen will have to do will mean of course more money for the fat cats.

When the postmen fall who will they come for next? You?

Dig Deep for the Greedy Bankers

I may be wrong but (it has been known) it seems to me that bankers/banks destroyed their own businesses and brought the country to it's knees by their arrogant greed. The government then bailed them out (but they are still as greedy and arrogant as ever by the way with record bonuses this year) and now to pay for that bail out we have to endure savage spending cuts which will amongst many other things inevitably hit hospitals and schools.
So, to put it simply, greedy fat pig arrogant bankers are to be bailed out by our children and the sick.
Is that putting it too simply??
And this is supposed to be  a Labour (Socialist?) government!

Shameless Bankers

From the BBC News website today:

The chairman of one of the world's largest banks has told the BBC that bankers must take some responsibility for the global economic downturn.
Sir Win Bischoff, from Citigroup, said his industry was "partly to blame" and some within it did feel "remorse".

He said forthcoming bonuses would be "way down" at his bank, which received a £35bn bailout from the US government

Citigroup lost $10.42 billion (about £7.2bn) between January and September 2008, and plans to cut 52,000 jobs by early this year

Wow!!!!!

They take some of the blame!

They feel remorse!

They lost ten billion dollars!

They are laying off fifty two thousand people!

They have been bailed out by the taxpayer to the tune of about fifty billion dollars!

Bonuses will be way down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, feeling remorse, taking the blame, losing money, taking state handouts and laying off thousands - and still they will pay themselves bonuses!!!!!!!!

I'm nearly lost for words.

These people have no shame, no morals and have brought the world to the brink.

We must not give them our (taxpayers) money.

We should imprison them for what they have done - and are still doing.
