Are these some of the reasons Britain is becoming a two tier state?

Ian Duncan Smith has asked the bosses of the state funded Remploy, not to take £1.5 million in bonuses and benefits. Tim Matthews, 59 chief executive who once listed drinking champagne amongst his interests, this just goes to show his arrogance received a record package of £180,000 he also claimed thousands in expenses for hotels and meals. Finance director Nigel Hopkins received £140,000 package including £15,000 bonus, another 288 directors received bonuses before starting a redundancy programme that will target half of its 2,800 disabled workforce. One has to ask why these people are paid so much? I'm quite sure that there are people within the country who are  quite capable of do these jobs for a third of the pay these people are now receiving., and without bonuses. Why are these payouts  being subsidised by the tax payer, at a time when we are constantly being told to tighten our belts. due to the austerity we now face. But again how can we believe anything that Cameron says when once again the great and the goods children are being allowed to gain work experience at the top city banks and hedge funds with  900 of their parents attending a Black and White party paying  minimum £400 a head towards Tory party funds then bidding around £3,000 for lots to get their off springs into these work experience posts. Is this  Cameron's idea of a Big Society? Now we have the debacle about Charles Kingsland a gynaecologist the clinical director of Britain's largest NHS fertility unit referring people to a clinic in Northern Cyprus to be implanted with a selected embryo. Mr Kingsland uses NHS premises and staff to organise for a profit a medical procedure that is illegal in Britain. The treatment costs up to £14,000 and he tells patients he must cover up his involvement by claiming to be ignorant of their reasons for travelling to Cyprus.Again is this not greed and corruption by certain high up medical people within the NHS. Should he and others like him not be struck off. It seems that no matter where we look today people with large salaries within the police force who are selling confidential information to other organisations. Its going on within the defence industry with jobs for the boys once they have left the MoD. It reported that they can't enter these jobs till they have been out of the so called loop for two years, but with high severance pay outs and guaranteed employment, within 24 months they won't be out of pocket. It now seems that greed pervades every aspect of Britain today. From parliament to high society and the people in power have the audacity to talk about the morals in Banana Republics. Kettle, pot, black seem to spring to mind. I just thank God that we have a press that look into these goings on and inform the general public. We need a free press but there are certain elements within the establishments who would like to curtail the fourth estate. If they ever got their then we would really  be a nation of mushrooms.
