I see that many financial institutions are making a very healthy recovery following substantial cash injections from the taxpayer. It is incredible to see that institutions gambling with ordinary peoples' money and losing it all would then be protected by us the taxpayer.
However, what is even more incredible is the apparent news that these institutions are rewarding their staff with such high bonuses yet seem unhappy to refund the taxpayer the enormous amounts of cash contributed in their hour of need.
I hear today the news of one such company which is rewarding its employees at levels which leave a very bad aftertaste in my mouth.
Anyway in an act of solidarity, and as I am very thoughtful of all those who are facing incredible hardship, I pledge to have any bonus I earn capped at £1M this year.
