Greedy Bastards of Great Britain: 100 crooks?
Here are one hundred more rogues who are creaming the public purse. I found it very illuminating when pouring over the annual trade union rich list furnished by the Taxpayers Alliance which reveals a lot of hypocrites who speak of socialism whilst enjoying lavish salaries. Even more galling is the fact that Trevor Phillips, head honcho of the 'Equality Commission' receives a salary in excess of 100k per annum. Well, it's a bit rich (if you excuse the pun) for clever Trevor to champion 'equality' when he is so handsomely rewarded. I guess that Michael Corleone was correct when he stated to the senator in The Godfather Part II that "we are both part of the same hypocrisy."
