Talk may be cheap

[TopGun]

Clegg today defends his actions to go Lib-Con in the Guardian. He says there was no other option. So why was he talking with Labour?

 

Also in the Guardian as Business Secretary Vince Cable says he will tackle big bank bonuses:

 

"Vast bonuses, particularly where it involves cash payments, are just not acceptable and that will be stopped by the new government and properly regulated in the interests of reducing risk."

 

It should be noted that in the first quarter of this year the banking sector paid £20bn to its bankers, two years ago before the crash it was £24bn.

 

Hmmmm... we'll see.

For the same reason I had no intention of buying the sofa in Furniture Village last weekend but the sales chap at DFS wasn't to know that whilst I was knocking down the price...

I am sorry to disagree with you but I think the CONLIB coalition was the only choice if you wanted Power not sure Labour were going to change their manifesto much.

 

 

With regards to bank bonuses they are large but so are footballers wages are they going to tackle them as well.

 

 

I am not sure it is the bonuses which have caused the problems at the banks but poor management if the banks make large profits I would have thought it right that there employees benefited but not by so much I suppose.

 

 

But it is the banks money so what should they do with it?

 

 

I just dont think

Exactly. The principles of this coalition are non-existent.

 

The nonsense that Clegg now spouts about national need is quite pathetic. This is a man who led the LDs into the election with 61 seats and ended up with 55 seats... irrespective of the voting system. And then sold his party's soul as a lucky kingmaker!

 

I'd love to hear Charlie Kennedy's take on it (totally silent thus far and not accepting/offered a govt post...)! And Bungle's also.
