It's fair enough. They have done such a brilliant job of managing the company that they deserve to be paid bonuses from the emergency loan they had to take out to stop the company going bankrupt.
These parasites were never punished for 2008
They took it as green light to grift harder.
May luigi bless them all.
May he bless all the billionaires.
Anyone able to give me career advice about how to become a Thames Water executive? Doesn't look hard to do and you keep getting bonuses!
Too late champ... If you have to ask, you ain't in the club.
I'm also not rich to start with and didn't go to public school either. I guess I just need to learn my place and celebrate the achievements of others.
I went to school with the public, does that count?
You might be in with a chance... of higher water bills. Just for your friends, of course.
That's right, boy, you got to show some respect for the better people
They earned it all with hard work
