Their employee's are going to get a 10% pay bonus this friday! How can that be right, what is this nasty Government all about allowing such things to happen whilst millions of those very taxpayers are struggling beyond words?

It's nothing less than a disgrace Rick! Northern Rock will pay out some £9million to it's employee's, about £2000 each! What for? Aren't they just doing the job they are paid to do anyway? What do we the taxpayers get, apart from another tax hike that is from this nasty Government, nothing!

And that's not the end of their bonuses by the looks of it. Perhaps they had good reason to be aggressive towards people struggling with their mortgages, contrary to what the government wants ?

Paul that is absolutely disgraceful isn't it?

Disgraceful Gordon Brown - you should be ashamed of yourself and certainly not gloating whilst firing sloppy shots at those who would do things differently! Sooner you lot are out of it the better.
