City Fat Cats or Corrupt Politicians - which annoy you most?

Coming back to the UK, it is so easy to see the media con of the big news stories on TV. By this I mean the news we are spoon-fed and the news we don't even get to hear about. For example, one of the headlines of News at Ten was that Gordon Brown announced his belief that the population of Britain were sick of city fat cats, awarding themselves bonuses of millions. Is that a story or a propaganda feed by the UK government to try and deflect attention from certain other stories, shall we say, that do not reflect the UK government in a good light?

Well,to answer Golden Gordon Brown, the population of the UK are not sick of city fat cats, since these people normally get where they are by contributing something to the well-being of the UK in general. What they are really sick of is corrupt politicians imposing ever more taxes, laws and regulations on all us genuine hard-working people just trying to get along with our lives, while at the same time, awarding themselves huge payrises every year, coupled with enormous expense claims and the opportunity to employ members of their family, friends and mistresses at the taxpayers expense,

Funnily enough, there is a whole raft of Inland Revenue rules, such as Section 660, denying self-employed people the chance to do the same thing, so the message is the usual socialist mantra of do as I say, not as I do.

I still can't watch the news without thinking of the good old Spitting Image sketch where, in a very serious voice impersonation of Trevor McDonald, we were told that someone famous, has died...
