i have yet to meet the mother of a newborn who can't be bothered.

I have and she is proud that she didn't. Her children are fine.

To be honest I have doctor friends who find these women annoying due to the stance they take with new mothers.

If the woman wants help fine. If she doesn't then leave her alone. However instead both the nurses and them bully the women.

In part, by employee contributions out of their salary and returns on stock market investment. No, you cannot double count salaries already earned and employee contributions claiming both are taxpayers money.

I do not believe that public sector employee contributions are invested on the stock market, happy to be corrected though. If that is the case, who then would pay for any shortfall if the market does not perform to expectations?

You do not need a £40k "expert to tell women that breast feeding is good for the baby. A midwife could tell them that as part of her normal duties.

Why do bankers and corporate executives feel the need to pay each other massive bonuses for the cracking job they have done for this country and the economy?

because they can, and as long as they are not being paid with taxpayers money, it is between them and their shareholders.

They don't pay each other bonuses. They are paid bonuses by their employers, for generating massive profits for their companies, shareholders and employers.

Anyway, this is all by the by. I see the average reduction in departmental budget announced by Osborne today is 19%, less than the 25% originally mooted and less, even, than the 20% that Darling was proposing prior to the election.

So, it's conclusive. The dastardly Tory cuts are lower than those axe-wielding Labourites would have done.

Booo Hiss.

Where do you think banks etc get their money from? Taxpayers. Me, you and everyone else.

So whether or not their money comes directly from taxes or from another means, it is yours, mine and everyone elses money that they are creaming off to line their pockets.

Where do you think the money they pay each other these lovely fat bonuses comes from? The money tree at the bottom of the garden.

The same applies to Mr Singh's paper shop. If he chooses to buy a nice Merc with the profits then that's his choice. However the money that comes through his tills is from taxpayers.

I pay nothing towards banking that I have not agreed to. If I disagree with a banks remuneration policy I can take my businesses elsewhere. If I was a shareholder I would have a say. With public sector I am forced by law to contribute with no choice in the matter so the situation is totally different.
