"The government doesn't have the cash to spend on us"????
Would this be the same government that subsidised the rail network to the tune of £3.9 billion in the year 2010-2011?

Don't forget the banks - who manage to pay out bonuses even though they are making a loss - now for RM when there wasn't any profit we didn't get a bonus - still what's a couple of grand compared to a couple of hundred thousand :shock:

I think there was a profit. It was just hidden with 'clever' accounting, and bulk buying and stock piling equipment, and other such tactics. Just so they could avoid paying us. :evil/mad

Noooooooo that can't be true, RM said there was no money and it was reiterated by the union saying how tough the economy was - strange to say that 18 months down the line we're swimming in cash but they don't want to honour the colleague share money agreement but they want to continue with BT 2010 :hmmmm

And the Bank Of England printing £375 billion so far, soon to be £500 billion in the near future, to be pumped into the economy (banks)
