Bonusses and redundancies...

... are in the news today. The ending of steelmaking on Teesside with almost 2000 job losses comes at a time when bankers, especially the RBS board, claim that they have earned the right to be paid bonus money already!!!! If anyone deserves bonus payments in my opinion it is the men and woman who work so hard in dangerous and difficult conditions, rather than someone who uses his "network" of similarly placed friends to market dubious financial schemes to an unsuspecting and innocent market of people who have been told to trust the very institutions that are making fortunes while they lose their livelihoods.
In another news report, the problem of cancer patients, and other chronically sick people, not being able to afford to hear their homes adequately was discussed. A few hundred pounds could change the lives of such people for ashort time while they recover or prepare for the death. And the Board of the RBS have the temerity to threaten resignation if they are not paid the £1.5 BILLION they have squirrelled away for themselves.... do these bankers and finaciers have NO conscience or humanity left? Clearly they don't....
