Tony Fountain, the chief executive of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, we are told, is the country’s highest-paid quango boss with a pay package of more than £520,000, comprising a basic salary of £365,000, a second home allowance of £85,937 and pension payments of £70,810.

The former BP executive also received a performance bonus of £146,000 and additional payments of almost £9,000, bringing his total pay to more than £675,000.

Whoever is keeping the list, Richard, I hope this entity is being recorded. It beggars belief and I hate that term, but it really does. Who sets their pay scale and who approves it because they also need to be on the list.

I sincerely hope that there are people out there, in a position of power and/or authority, ready to put a stop to this. Otherwise, I am quite convinced that more direct action will be taken ... this has gone way, way past acceptable.

Bonus? What is that for?

That is 47 years pay for a country secretary on 15k per annum. And he is paid for out of their taxes, how does think about himself? I wonder if this work is even full time

How do you propose to stop it? Violence is out of the question. Elections are some time away. Just what methods are there left?

Only by recourse to totally non-violent methods of completely overthrowing an established but completely untenable and dysfunctional and corrupt and authoritarian system.

History has always shown that only non-violent methods work. Always.

Dialogue has to be the way forward.




It's very important that people are made to believe this fact.

2 + 2 =

It's all going to be OK...

Look.....

We don't stop it.
We are watching the process of it collapsing under its own lootings.
As the money runs out the elites will cut benefits before they cut quangos.

How do we stop it?

We follow the example of our continental neighbours. When you can't trust the government and civil service you cut them out of circle.

If they loot the tax payers then the tax payer will stop paying the tax.

If violence, for some mysterious reason, is out of the question, then give up any hope and be a good slave.


btw, how about paying taxes using coins of the lowest possible value?


[quote="TiDavis" Violence is out of the question. [/quote]

I think there is always that unspoken qualifier ... "for the time being". And that's what is putting the shits up the looting classes ... once they plebs decide they can do it as well, there is no stopping it. The lower orders must know their place ... only their betters are permitted to loot.

You have stopped using the term "Parasite Class" and now call them "The White-collar Looting Class" Is that intentional, both are good? The second is very particular and unambiguous, the first more catchy but applicable to such a wide range of people it could get diluted into an meaningless insult.

Julian ... they are interchangeable ... I tend to mix and match, just for variety. "Parasite class" has by no means departed from the lexicon.

Err...most of us are on PAYE, so how does not paying tax work?
