the rich bankers that fucked up or can be held responsible (mostly) all lost their jobs.
Banks are companies. Companies generally sack people that are shit at their jobs because, unlike the public sector, they can.

The bank "bailout" (which in itself is a ridiculous term as the government stands to make one point seven metric fucktons of profit out of it, rather spoiling the press calling it a bailout) merely meant that the tens of thousands of people that (say) RBS employ in general kept their jobs. And anyone with an RBS mortgage/account kept their house/savings. and the economy didn't completely collapse leaving us all cooking rats over wood fires in caves.

But, hey, if you want to see it as the government handing money to rich people, by all means carry on, don't let anything approaching actual fact cloud your judgment.

It has to be said A. Vagabond looks a bit silly.
He's sitting there, one of the worlds richest people, complaining about people being richer than him.

I'm sure you do work fair and square for your money, but your standard of living is hardly fair and square is it. It's achieved by the hard work and early deaths of millions of people around the world. Yet there you are attacking the system that has brought about this sate of affairs.

So keep sitting there in your nice house, with your boiler, with your health care, education and luxuries. Wiping your arse with paper, PAPER! no less. Most of the worlds population would use that to write on. Flick the V to the poor, and stop whining.

I wipe my arse with pedigree puppies.

I wipe mine with my squirty bum hose and my hand.
I'm not a hippy; I just live in Indonesia.

I wipe my cock on the curtains.
