The assumption I would be making if I did complain about Mr Hester is that somehow his bonus would come to me and others like me if it weren’t being lavished on him.

It wouldn't.

I understand that it’s frustrating for people who are hard-up to watch someone else getting rich for doing something that they’re not qualified to do, but really, we need to grow up about this.

Pay the man his bonus, for goodness sake. He might as well have it as not, because it was never coming our way.

We've been taught there's nothing better, so we won't vote for any candidate, or any party, that fights the hydra of socialism, rather than rapping it gently on one of its heads. And our politicians know that socialism equals state power, they equal the state, ergo don't touch socialism or else.

Poulson, like so many breast-beating, "Everything must be free - let someone else pay," professional agitators, should know that Cameron certainly Isn't out of touch with the mass of the general public, who already pay the £40-plus Billion a year spent on various welfare goodies, and are now beingexpected to pay even more by well-paid do-gooders like her! Welfare benefits are intended to pay for Essential needs to people who genuinely can't work - they were never intended to pay for "free"cars, free home-extensions, free carers, free Council Tax, or "free" whatever, this new Benefit Industry and it's self-interested, well-paid staff think that they can screw out of the rest of the public who actually do all the paying! And, as matter of policy, No benefit-dependent recipient should EVER be placed in better liviing conditions than the averagely paid worker -to do so just robs those workers of any incentive to keep on working, and increases the resentment of those who do!

Maybe if David Cameron stopped importing all the trash from Europe we would be in a better position to actually look after our disabled population. Multi nationalist countries might bring cheap labour but it creates bitterness and apathy among British nationalists. Short term profit create long term damage to Britain and who cares, certainly not the ones who are reaping the benefits by using the cheap labour to fill their own pockets. The ones that do care seem powerless to do anything about it. (MONEY TALKS). David Cameron has no solution to the vast amount of people who are abusing the benefit system it seems his only way to stop it is to make everyone suffer. How about setting up some private companies with the rights to investigate suspected fraudsters with pay by results rewards given on a percentage of the yearly savings to the government.

I note especially the complete silence from the maladroit incomprehensible sharia loving marxist charlatan posing as Archbishop of Cantebury - surely the worst incumbent since the one who actually killed a rival whilst wearing armour under his clerical robes at St Batholemew the Great.

Some people have written to me complaining that I get too angry when I write about our Government. But I AM angry. I believe we all should be outraged and I'm shouting because I want people to hear it.

Let us make no mistake what we are witnessing from our Coalition Government is absolutely, unquestionably, categorically scandalous.

The ritual humiliation, brutalisation, threats and punishment of anyone who is considered 'a burden to the state'. Anyone who is less than perfect, anyone who dares to find themselves in a position where they need the state to support them. Those people are the subject of shocking and terrifying behaviour at the hands of David Cameron's Coalition.

Cultural observers could not fail to notice the similiarites between what is taking place here towards sick, disabled, elderly or any group perceived to be vulnerable and weak and what occurred in Hitler's Germany.

This may not be ethnic cleansing that we are witnessing - and some are already experiencing - but it's a type of cleansing all the same.

There are hundreds of thousands of people around our country right now who are absolutely petrified for their future. It appears so hopeless. There have already been a number of suicides from people who left behind messages to the effect that they simply could not take the hardship any more. Could not face another winter without sufficient food or heat. And in the UK in 2012. Doesn't it make you proud?

Some of the actions that are being carried out around our great country - and it's still great no matter what the idiots trying to make it's not say - are an absolute living outrage and we cannot condone it in any way shape or form.

This Coalition have long since crossed the line of decency. Their attacks on those who need our help the most are vile, and transparently so, and must be stopped. Else we all live to regret it.
