The difference is that most of the above we can choose to contribute to their earnings or not (with some exeptions). I object strongly to MY money being used to pay bonuses to people who should be grateful just to have a job.

But you can't choose not to pay for people like Fiona Bruce, Johnathan Ross etc. Did you see how much they all get paid and what the BBC spend money on.

Same with MP's expenses and top council wages and both gettting our money for their pensions. They are all as bad as each other.

Oh come on. Clarksons comment was a bit too far (in terms of the one-eyed comment) but to state that its racist is frankly ignorant.

Why bring up the fact that he is Scottish at all then, why did he say it? if it was not some kind of dig, I don't buy all this naughty public schoolboy stuff from Clarkson! I hope he bumps into a cyclops from inverness pretty soon but hes probably too busy having marmalade sandwiches with Carol Thatcher!

Are these people nicer than Bankers, or just competent at blind siding the public?

These people have not ruined the economy. They have provided a service for their wealth. People have chosen to pay them for their services. They have not given people the key to debt. They have not gambled with peoples money. They have simply provided the service they said they would.

How you can compare these people to bailed out banks, I have no idea. But I'm guessing you are a bit of a socialist....therefore have a vengance against anyone who's worked hard for their money.

Its very annoying, nowhere have i worked where everyone gets a bonus just for working there. I have seen Rewards given for excelling at a job and they have a mere token of gratidtude for doing what you get paid to do.

Only staff that have done well at making money should be rewarded and by rewarded i mean give them something like £50 m & s vouchers, if you perform well next month you may recieve the same....This won't create any more of that greed that has been created. And it would stop people being so unscrupulous, money send people a bit whacko and thats exactly whats happened to the banking staff.

These bonuses are far too much for what they do and as for risk taking (nice excuse), offer to send them into afghanistan, or into a burning building, that will teach them what a risky job is.

Work in the NHS. You'll find quite a lot of people thinking they own you.

Has Brown not grasped the basic concept of a PLC. It is OWNED by shareholders, and the Board etc are mere employees, in other words, Gordon is in charge. When Government employees are outsourced, the new owners don't seem to have any trouble getting 'overpaid' staff to sign a new contract or be made redundant, so talk to these Companies and find out how to do it.
