Undeserved Bonuses ... Again!

It’s rare that I write about the same topic two weeks in a row, but greedy capitalism and the immoral principles of large bonuses have pissed me off again. Network Rail is set this week to award payouts of hundreds of thousands of pounds to its bosses. Just bear one thing in mind …
In 2005, Olivia Bazlinton, aged 14, and Charlotte Thompson, 13, were hit by a train and killed as they crossed a station footpath in Essex. It took Network Rail six years to admit that their own health and safety failings had been responsible for the two teenage deaths. Imagine the emotional torment that the families of the victims must have gone through during this time. Yet Network Rail will simply receive a large fine; no other punishment will be meted out. So nobody there deserves a bonus. Simple as that.
