A city trader spent this incredible sum of £40k in
one night. He treated nine friends to a night out and partying beside a famous
film star of Hollywood on the night of Halloween. An eye witness stated the he didn’t
hold back the moment he saw this famous star and maybe he tried to show off at
the Raffles in Chelsea’s Kings Road.
They city trader started with 10 Zombie cocktails
which are made of rum, absinthe and grapefruit at £30 each.
Soon he was dancing the night away at the 230
capacity members only club. When the famous star turned up at 11pm the city
trader ordered three giant bottles of vintage Dom Perignon champagne methuselahs
amounting to £24,000. After came seven
bottles of vintage Dom Perignon Oenotheque 1996 adding another £3,500; two
Belvedere jeroboam vodkas adding £1,640; seven glasses of Don Julio 1942 tequila
adding £224; two vintage Dom Perignon Rose 2000 magnums adding £2,200; six
bottles of Krug rose adding £2,400; Red Bull for £87.50; Havanna rum at £350
and finally 16 cafĂ© parton with tequila adding £160.00.
The
final bill came to £34,861.40 plus £5,229.23
This is a glimpse how the city boys live and the
world they live in. To spent £40k in one night without padding the eye lid while
the country struggles to survive and not only the ordinary people but also the
economy and the government does nothing to curb their bonuses. At the very same
time David Cameron and his friends always shouting about AUSTERITY and benefits
have to be cut for England’s economy to survive.
To spent this kind of money in one night they must
be used to it. This only can be done with all their high salaries and top
bonuses. Therefore, the prime minister and the coalition should step in where
it should be done. Also the Bank of England was talking about and promised to
bring in regulation of the bank and city.
This regulation had been well overdue and when the
people started a movement under the name of OCCUPY they soon were removed but
the government will no confront the banks and city. It is no wonder when banks go bankrupt but
then the government makes the taxpayer to step in to rescue them. Yet when it
shows a profit it is soon distributed in bonuses instead of being made to pay
it back to the taxpayers.
There is another broken promise of David Cameron of
stopping these huge bonuses. Times and again he promised but when it came to it,
it was quietly sidelined. At stage he said it takes time to do this but when
Occupy launched a protest in no time he had it through the courts and they were
removed. All the government’s action is certainly one-sided and not democratic.
All this mess is since Margaret Thatcher
de-regulated the banking and finance system. That lady has a lot to answer for,
for the shamble ever since exists and until the government does not regulate
the banks and finance market there will be nothing but scandals coming up.
The scandal of the Libor but after it hit the
headline we never heard anything about it and apart from one man being sacked
but with a more than fat golden handshake which should have never been given.
He also will receive big pension while ordinary people’s pension is getting
cut.
David Cameron is certainly in this altogether and he
must be smirking away at the ordinary people he keeps well down. However in the
long run it will backfire in the economy when next year all the cuts will bite
and the people have even less to spend. Well it also could be that the public
will remember and not being swayed by more promises in the future. Time will
tell.
