Bankers = Parasites

'Rich bankers can today be exposed as a huge drain on society... costing the rest of us £8.40 for every £1 they produce. A study by think-tank the New Economics Foundation found the average banker destroys £42million a year in value while creating just £5million.

Meanwhile hospital cleaners on £6.26 an hour are worth £10 for every £1 they cost because they prevent superbugs, saving the economy a fortune.

The shock figures fly in the face of claims that bankers like Barclays boss Bob Diamond – paid £4.4million in 2010/11 – are worth vast bonuses because of their contribution to the economy. Their drain on the country is caused by the cost of bailing out banks brought to their knees by the credit crunch and the ­devastating impact of the crisis their recklessness caused.'
