I always though P Diddy was a nonce, a perv, a slot badger, a two pin DIN plug, a bush dodger, a small bean regarder, a unabummer, a nut administrator, a bent ref, the crazy world of Arthur Brown, a fence foal, a free willy, a chimney bottler, a bunty man, a shrub rocketeer

Weird that there’s so much said about the quality of the BBC’s news output, when they’re running stuff like this.

It’s almost like they have some sort of villain in charge.

That’s just completely fucked up.

This is the same wanker who admitted on live TV that his wage (last year) was “unjustifiable”, right?

All the top earners clawing the money together to buy themselves into the exclusive new world survivors bunker. Mass extinction incoming.

Just imagine the action film hero ego battle scenes that will take place in there, they’ll all be double crossing each other before you know it and dead before us.

Playing devil’s advocate for a second, it’d be very difficult to turn down a wage that’s being offered to you even though you know it’s taking the piss. Much better to hate the game than the player in this case.

Is a one sided thing a game? Like can people stop paying and then they can win the game instead with no consequences? They’re just the winner now!

I’ve stopped paying until they sort my fucking smart meter out, and explain to me why an extra £350 was randomly added to my bill last July.

Lots of people are reporting massive sudden debts wrongly being put on to their smart meters, it’s a very similar thing to the Horizon, Post Office scandal, huh?

He’s dictating what he takes, Anyone who thinks they need that kind of money is into something dodgy because any moral person does not need that amount to live a great life.

His reward (salary, bonus, shares etc) deal will have been proposed to a remuneration committee made up of members of the Board and major shareholders who would vote on it at the start of the year. Then at the end of the year if he did what they said he needed to do to get the reward, he gets it. Doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s way too much for one person, in an industry taking the piss out of its customers, but he doesn’t get to decide what he gets, beyond threatening to leave if they don’t give him a reward deal he wants. The decision is taken by a committee (probably made up of equally cuntish types)

Nah not at all. Just explaining the process. Which is a load of wankers at the top of the ladder feathering their nest. He can and should turn it down but why would he when it’s what he agreed to at the start of the year? We’ve got the Persimmon HQ a mile down the road up here where the CEO got a £75m bonus one year for making and selling lots of houses off the back of the taxpayer funded Help To Buy scheme. Took the lot and effectively shrugged and said its what was agreed with the Board.

The reason they do this is because they can. They’ve proved they can’t do responsible capitalism, now we need to get these monopolies under state control again

After using trains a fair bit in France the last 14 months, the price of our rail network is a joke.

30min train to London is the same price as a 2.5hour train from Paris to Vannes
