Bankers

Ok, bankers seem like a boring thing to complain about, because it is so obvious they are irritating, and everyone is complaining about them in the press all the time, however, here are my two cents:

We live in a society that, on the whole, runs as a meritocracy where people are rewarded on their basis of the own merits and achievements. Not so for bankers. Last year bankers gambled with lots of money, not their money, other people's money. They messed it up so badly they almost bankrupted the banks themselves, incredible! The government were so concerned about the losses they decided to give the banks more money - our money - to bail them out. This money was obviously intended to purely to get the banks out of trouble, but the banks decided to give the money to the aforementioned bankers who lost all the money in the first place as a "bonus".

Next time you go to work do a really shit job of something, in fact do such a shit job that you bankrupt the entire company, then see if you can get that company to give you a bonus paid for by the uk tax payer - bet you can't, unless of course you are a banker.
