We're all in this together but some of us more than others

It's Gordon Gecko on crack. Whatever happened to shame or fear of reprisal when it comes to excessive greed? Oh yes, it disappeared with the fall of communism, which kept it in check for a few decades. Bosses have given themselves a 55% pay rise this year - so much for austerity...that's for little people on welfare, like single mums, and people looking for a job, or on disability allowance. Get with the programme! You all tighten your belts now, because some people are going to have to get a new belt, a much wider one. Their girth is expanding as ours contracts. This is the beautiful Coalition world that we live in...who needs satire? I think what we really need is the guillotine. It's due a comeback.
