This week on the sports news they have been talking about transfer fees for footballers which are now so high that they're obscene. Nobody is worth the millions of pounds that clubs pay for them and the players obviously have no conscience either when they accept wages that would make any ordinary person's eyes water.
I'll bet they don't give a thought to the fans who could never expect to earn the money they receive for one year in the whole of a working lifetime. I worked for over forty years and didn't even earn half of the amounts that some of these footballers receive and I'm sure they're not better people than me or anyone else come to that.
Some of the television personalities are the same, demanding wages that sound more like telephone numbers than salaries and some of them don't work anywhere near the number of hours in a week that most ordinary people do.
As for the bankers that got us into the current financial mess, I don't think they should receive five or six figure bonuses this year especially as the British taxpayer now owns most of the banks and if we hadn't bailed them out, they wouldn't even have jobs.
The government should bring in a new law: Everyone will be paid only what they are worth....there will be an awful lot of people who will have to pay money back!
