The ConDem Government has decided NOT to tax the banksters bonuses (again) this xmas. The latest estimate is that they will be paying out (of our money don't forget) £8.5 Billion on top of what are already enormous salaries. They have, instead, decided on even more benefit cuts and low pay settlements for the poorest in our society alongside trying to rob the public service pensioners of the near future. And for all those trying to justify that attack as well deserved if they get away with it then private sector pensions and state pensions will be next in line.

Let's be honest, there should be no bankers bonuses to tax in the first place, and for this government to lash the poor even harder rather than tax the rich and the robbers shows perfectly the disparity between their worm-tongue words and the true nature of this ConDem beast. And there was me thinking that the LD's would temper the natural slavering sadism of the Tories. Shows how bloody stupid and naive I can still be.
