CABLE ATTACKS THE FAT CATS


BBC NEWS Vince Cable has called for highly paid executives in the private and public sectors to be named and shamed.

In his speech to the Lib Dem spring conference, the party's deputy leader demanded full disclosure of salaries more than £194,000 - what the PM earns.
The move would ensure "fat cats have nowhere to hide", he told delegates.

Good idea, sadly it won’t work, I tried to obtain the salaries of CEOs and Medical Directors in the NHS through an FOI request, the answer I got was “we do not hold that information”-this is from the Dept of Health.

The other point is will Vince Cable’s idea include MPs?



Second topic today BBC NEWS Two die in 'barbaric' Army attack two soldiers have been shot dead during a gun attack at an army base in County Antrim, the Ministry of Defence says.

A spokesman said "four other personnel" were injured, one of them critically, in the attack at Massereene army base in Antrim, 16 miles north of Belfast.

No one has said their gunmen carried out the attack, but it is thought to be the work of dissident republicans.
