        Why should he talk about it? Do you talk about your bonuses? It’s an issue for their company and shareholders surely to determine their policy ?

        No, it's an issue for all citizens when jerks who build rubbish houses, manipulate land supply to keep prices up then line their own pockets as though they're done a good job.

        Private business, has earned it and has nothing to do with anyone. BBC comparatively pays same to Gary & Co on taxpayers’ money.

        It is legal but dishonest. But our BBC is funded by taxpayers advises staff, journalists etc to work as self employed to avoid paying taxes. This is not only dishonest but corrupt and is bias.

        No I bet he doesn’t want to talk about it. If he had transformed the NHS then he might, just possibly, be worth a bonus of £75 million. As a taxpayer I resent the “Right to Buy” money going on his bonus. I would prefer it to go towards the homeless but that’s being a bit radical

        it's strange how so many people strive to be rich, but yet they're embarrassed when they get there.

        If the sum is immorally astronomical without good reason, and he has indirectly benefited from a government-backed scheme that has prompted the soar in their share price, then he is well within his rights to question it. In fact he’s right to.

        Why do we have a stigma of anyone doing well for themselves we have to butcher them . Yes it’s obscene amount but at a guess when he first set out he probably put his morgage and family on the line todo so . A gamble !! A gamble that’s paid of with probably hard work .

        When you see the corruption that was in Carrilion it's no wonder he doesn't want to talk about it.

        I share his concerns .. I don't want to talk about the £20.00 a week the missus says we can hardly afford for diesel so I can get to work. Bollox to him.

        We bought a house from @PersimmonHomes earlier this year. This makes me sick. They scrimp over tiny little bits in the house, which we have to buy out of our own pocket, then give out £75m bonuses. That is the worst possible kind of ‘customer service’.

        Did they supply what they were contracted to? If so then what is your crib about. If not then sue them. Don't moan on Twitter.

        Yes, but to a poor standard. I raised my issues and some things were fixed, some things weren’t. But I made a comment on a story. That’s what Twitter is for. My problem is that they can afford to give ludicrous amounts of money to the boss, but overcharge their customers.
