Bank Bonuses

Can anybody explain to me that if we the British taxpayer own 84% of RBS and therefore have a controlling interest in the bank, then how come we have no say in stopping the bonuses that are about to be paid. I don't agree with these bonuses and I suspect that neither do the majority of tax payers. The Government is failing us in this as in every other way.

The Luton Five

So these gentlemen were fined £500 each and given a two year suspended sentence for public order offences. The judge said they had the right to protest but not to insult the returning soldiers or the people of Luton. They came out of court with no remorse what so ever saying that British troops should get out of their country. If their country is so good why don't they ....off back there?

The trouble is our spineless government is more liable to ban home coming marches for being a provocative act than to do anything about these people.

Brown survives again.

Members of the Labour party must either be extremely blind, extremely stupid or totally gutless. The proposed secret ballot was probably their last chance to get rid of the unelected, despised leader foisted on the British electorate. They might have stood a small chance of winning with a new leader with GB they stand no chance and they can't seeit or are too busy protecting their jobs. Pity most of them will be out of work after the election, but even that's not true, there are nice cushy jobs in Europe waiting for most of them isn't there.

Winter weather and politics.

So Britain is in the grip of the worst winter weather in years. On the news they interviewed some British pensioners who have to decide whether to eat or put the heating on and yet our illustrious leader Gordon Brown backed up by David Cameron pledges billions of our money to developing countries. I make no apologies for saying charity begins at home. How can you give our money away knowing that British oensions are amongst the worst in the EU.
It strikes me that our leaders are more concerned about how they appear on the world stage than for the electorate. Or are they just hedging their bets for a nice cushy well paid job in Europe once they are chucked out of parliament. Can't go upsetting the Europhiles now can we!!!!!

Electioneering

Day four of the New Year and already I've come to the conclusion that you won't be able to believe a single word any politician tells us.

Wouldn't it be good to have a complete change of leadership from the big two parties, I think the country needs it.

Iranian Conncections

Don't you think it's strange that some disenfrachised Revolutionary Guard pops up on our TV screens saying that the kidnap of Peter Morre had their fingerprints all over it. I have not heard one shred of evidence being put forward to support this man's claims. Is this the sort of hearsay and speculation the worlds' intelligence services use to justify further action or is this all a put up job to justify future action?

It makes you wonder or am I just being paranoid?
