Fat cats should not be overpaid, especially out of State coffers, especially if they are doing a mediocre job.
For example, the Royal Bank of Scotland (82% government-owned) has now lost money for 6 years in a row, totalling more than the £46billion that it was bailed out with in 2008.
RBS lost 8.2billion in the last 12 months. And it has just paid out £576million in bonuses. All of that could have been stopped by this government. Massive bonuses. Consistent loss of public money. Reward for failure.
Does the government look for 'cashable savings' in RBS?
No, they target legal aid and the justice system.
To borrow Michael Moore's phrase:
'Dude, where's my country?'
