National Politics: A couple of recent events – the Con. Lab. Speaker and the £9.6m man

I don’t like putting national stuff on here but sometimes I get a bit fired up.  So a note on a couple of things that came out yesterday.  Lets see if these are storms in teacups or just a further step up the stairway of public revulsion. I think the dog has now got a bad name and somehow is ignoring the signs of bad house training.

The Speaker of the House of Commons was selected last night. John Bercow a Conservative was voted in by Labour. So we’ve had MP’s voting that the Freedom of Information Act doesn’t apply to them. Exaggerated expenses. Now when everyone is distrusting MP’s the man selected to sort it out is one who has paid back several thousands of pounds, no-one has heard of and only 3 in his own party voted for him. Does this seem suspicious?

Number 2 event is the new chairman of Royal Bank of Scotland will be paid around £7m in bonuses if he meets certain targets which seem to be mainly focussed on short term gain. We’ve all been told that short term gain and large bonuses were the root cause of the banking problems. Does this sound like nothing has changed after all the moralising and £bn’s of pounds of taxpayers money? This man is tasked with getting the share price to 70p so taxpayers can make a profit which sounds laudible but is it more likely with the bonus? Does the bonus take away all scruples so he’ll work 24/7, sack people and do inhuman things to achieve this goal?  I thought it probably wouldn’t. Is there more that we don’t know about?

Is the world going mad or do we need a major change? I’m not thinking a General Election will help as I don’t see anyone who looks clean.  Maybe Monster Raving Lunatic, click below.
