I make wealth which in turn finances much of what you take for granted in the UK. You just don't get it do you, Pete? Or don't WANT to get it. Those soft shandy drinking poofs in London, bring them up to the North East and i'll show them what a REAL job is. You live in the Dark Ages, Pete. Will you listen? No. You know best. As always. Right?

Stocks, shares, bonds, commodities, futures, cash itself, etc etc. It's a long list.

OH, I understand alright .... I understand that you move money about and take a cut from doing it - nothing is added, just taken away. This taking away is called profit ... granted, that 'profit' is taxed and that helps us run the country ....... but, please, don't claim you are making anything tangible.

When a SteelWorker takes the Molten Steel and hammers it into a Billot, he is making something which wasn't there before .... the CarWorker presses that steel into panels for cars .... making items that weren't there before.

Why should that SteelWorker and the CarWorker work a year for £25,000 and Bankers get £Millions in Bonuses? Especially as the SteelWorker and the CarWorker (indeed all of us) OWN the Banks! AND saved their sorry 4rses!

It stinks, it's wrong, it's unethical, it's immoral ...... Bankers and the Finance Sector as a whole should hang their collective heads in shame and pray for forgiveness from the SteelWorkers of Redcar.

You simply don't get it, do you?

So ANYBODY providing a service in the UK is a waster, Pete?


Get your head out of your ****, "mate". The North East is dying precisely because we can't manufacture anything at a sensible price any more. Go ask your beloved bunch of ***** at Westminster why that might be before you start spouting $hite against the biggest sector of the economy.

We need a change of government to stop these deluded ******* doing any more damage.

Fair enough!
