How could you spend £11 million ?

Well, how about some of the following…

Running costs for maybe fifteen secondary schools for a year
Salaries of 300 or so extra nurses
1100 extra hip replacement operations
11 day centres for adults with learning disabilities or elderly people
Free school meals for all children
A new hospital maybe?
Extra respite care for parents of disabled children…20 thousand holiday places for these parents who never get a decent break.
Public sector workers get inflation matching payrises
Pensions for care workers, nurses, teachers, fire and rescue workers, ambulance staff maintained at current levels.

What else could you add to the list?

And what will Barclay’s Bank chief executive Bob Diamond do with his £11 million bonus when he picks it up in a few weeks time ?

Economic crisis? All in it together? I don’t think so.
Cutting disability benefits to pay for an economic crisis caused largely by people like Mr Diamond, whilst they still get their huge bonuses is obscene and sick. What value is £11 million to him anyway? An extra £100 a month to severely disabled folk and their families has much more meaning.

Anyone for a 90% supertax on bank bonuses over, say £10K? That would get my vote….
