Nice to see that the Capitalist System is alive & kicking and working just as well as it always has done

But apparently it's going to coast the government £600 million to bring everyone home but RBS, which is 60% owned by the government only wanted £200 million, so it doesn't look like good business to many people.

Plus the government did bail the banks out but won't bail any other British businesses out (because the banks control the politicians is the reason for that).

Poor businesses????
How much have they paid their directors?
Just wait & see what the poor buggers at the bottom of the pile get
Unacceptable face of capitalism Now where have I heard that before?

Well we pay MPs and we instructed them to get us out of the EU

But it hasn’t happened

What's the relevance ?

What's the relevance ?

Paying people for a crap performance, not running the business correctly and missing targets.

It was referenced in an earlier reply about how much Thomas Cook paid their directors

MPs are being paid but not delivering

No, not surprised.

The important thing is that a few top executives of a struggling company got their snouts in and emptied the trough before it all went t:ts up.

This sort of thing is the lifeblood of the "system". We should all be thankful. The likes of the TC execs are what's keeping the likes of Corbyn out. Long live the establishment.
