    So please tell who is to blame for this catastrophic meltdown?

    Capitalist bankers is my guess,not benefit recipients.

    If you read this in the style of Neil the Hippy from The Young Ones it really works. You may need to add in some "Yeahs" or "Mans" in there though.

    It does!

    Add in some "eat more lentils" as well and its even better.

    It`s actually quite a philosophical question and that may be a little bit to difficult for you to understand.

    Hmmm

    Would you care to answer my questions on page one and then maybe we can join in with this philosophical discussion.

    We need more details to be able to form our personal arguements against or for each example you have given.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

    <sigh>

    I can feel myself taking the bait. Here goes...

    I presume you're refering to Adam Applegarth, the Northern Rock blokey? On a very simplistic level it is quite shocking to see someone be rewarded for failure with a nice big pension. When people are given jobs with these inflated salaries they get paid to balance risk on behalf of the company which it seems many of them got wrong. He was probably contractually obliged to that pension no matter how things went, so there we go. Like you, it doesn't seem right to me either.

    I don't understand the point of your second line, so you must be right, I'm too thick to understand it.
