Greedy Pigs [***SEE http://aftu.webgarden.com]

The following hall of shame is derived from the Town Hall Rich List of 2013 as published by the very worthwhile Taxpayers' Alliance. The listed greedy bastards are all employees of Scottish councils. If I was a Scottish voter at local elections, I would be making my views quite clear about the disgusting siphoning of public funds towards a select group of selfish individuals. Is it acceptable for ratespayers money to be allocated away from public services to feather the nest of such pigs? Surely not? I would advocate a campaigh of civil disobedience to defy the councils that waste public money so irresponsibly. As far as I am concerned, the wealth-worshippers below are my enemies.

GREEDY BASTARDS of Great Britain [***SEE ALSO the website http://aftu.webgarden.com]

Before I list one hundred more greedy pigs who are exploiting the excessive generosity of various remuneration committees, may I remind the reader of the following. Any individual employed on the degrading National Minimum Wage earns typically about £11,000 per year. Any individual on Jobseekers Allowance and Housing Benefit typically receives eight or nine thousand pounds per annum. Contrast such pitiful rations with the large amounts below, and surely one can see the need for civil disobedience to confront a bureaucratic establishment that looks after itself a little too well whilst literally providing the bare minimum for the rest of the great unwashed. The allocation of huge salaries must stop!
