IN my dictionary, ‘govern’ means to rule, direct, guide, and control, so when is the Government going to do something about the almost daily insults to working people by such over-the-top compensations to such as Charlotte Church, for having her phone hacked – £600,000.

This is more than most people earn in a lifetime’s work.

The ‘Fat Cats United’ club are also responsible for bankers’ bonuses, footballers’ weekly lottery jackpots, chief executives king’s ransoms, including councils and the BBC.

Another new racket that’s hitting the jackpot on taxpayers’ cash is top police claiming for racial discrimination for not being promoted and female police for sex discrimination for this and other issues.

The latest example: a female firearms officer suing for not being offered another chance when she failed a training course.

Recently, one received £2 million and another £450,000 for other matters.

Nice work if you can get it!
