All you people moaning about the bailing out of big banks need to get a grip.
If bankers didn't get 6 and 7 figure bonuses after the recession we've just had, who the hell would be spending money? Thankfully there is a trickle down of the bonus effect whereby house pricing in the south east is kept mercifully buoyant and Porsche dealerships have been able to retain the majority of their staff. I know of several patisseries in Knightbridge, run as hobbies by wives and offspring of bankers that would be forced to close if daddy moved to Dubai. What would that do to the economy?
God bless the politicians, I only wish we hadn't raised the minimum wage by 19p. It's money that now threatens the recovery that could so easily have been channelled into flood defences for low lying new builds around Windsor.
