Hear, hear, Terry Waite - fat cats are a health hazard

04/08/2008

I agree entirely with Terry Waite's comments about inflated bonuses. However, the fact is that these five and six figure bonuses are not only costing the taxpayer, but are dangerous. I am 57 and do not receive any winter fuel allowance, and know of several in the same boat.

Yet the fact that 'fat cat' directors within the gas industry are making such obscene profits and bonuses, while people have to choose between eating and heating, is despicable.  Please don't give me that guff about 'the price of oil' - I am far from thick.
