  • You can hear that George Gideon Osborne breathes through his mouth. He is a mouth breather, one of the many annoying/irritating aspects of the Gideon.

  • @skeletorphd Such cynicism.

  • @sail1948 Wow, a left wing newspaper said that?

  • In response I do work hard dole dossers dont work or contribute to the economy round them up and get rid of them if you have more kids than you can afford take them away if you can't afford a house its took away stop moaning about people who atleast the pay tax

  • Did these bankers any one of them actually predict the biggest collapse in financial history? How come they missed that but want millions to forecast again -I say employ only those that either spoke out against those bad practices or ask at the interview why these blue eyed boys missed the big one? Let them go where ever they want to it is this bunch that collapsed the banks in the first place -They can go and play and collapse things as they like elsewhere -Blackmail is a crime in my book

  • @jasonmhall1972 Are you actually working yourself?

  • Lord Mandelson, Milliband's boss backed the bonus, and it was the Brown government of which Milliband was part which drew up the contract. What hypocrisy.

    Long may hestay in his job.

  • @skeletorphd In actual fact I read the "Guardian". Mr. Fester may well have agreed a pay rate with "Lie-bore but the other Bullingdonian, Cameron, could have stopped it at any time. Its obvious the Bullingdonian clique have been putting pressure on Fester to forego his "bonus", so as to prevent Cameron having to appear before a commitee to explain why he failed to prevent it.

  • Why is labour moaning when they waved thru bonuses for years they only say the opposite of tories if a tory said the sky was blue miliband would say its not and then get on his knees and suck off a union boss

  • To search for mines to save the lovely dogs doing it
