Network Rail bonuses approved

[La Poste]

Controversial six-figure bonuses for Network Rail bosses have been approved, despite criticism from the prime minister and unions.
Members of the not-for-profit company's ruling body voted in favour of the pay package by 37 votes to 31, with nine abstentions.
Outgoing chief executive Iain Coucher will get £641,000.
David Cameron's office reiterated his deep disappointment at the decision, while union bosses were scathing.
"The Prime Minister said at the time that he was deeply disappointed," said a spokeswoman for Number 10.
"Now, clearly, they have voted for those bonuses, and his view remains the same."
Although Network Rail is technically a private company, it does not pay any dividends and is subsidised by the government.

The gravy train runs on and on, in fact it's the only train you can rely on.

And it's us, taxpayers, funding this chronic waste of vital money.

I'd have those bastards shot, and I'm not joking, I don't work my arse off all week, just so I'm taxed to pay for shyte like that.
