Pig with banner, Bonuses are Back Pig Party at Bank, City of London


Bonuses are Back Pig Party at Bank, City of London Despite everything that has happened over the past year, bankers are still getting bonuses, often at quite obscene levels, far in excess of most people's annual incomes. City pigs are truly back with their snouts in the trough, and to celebrate this, Chris Knight and others from the 'The Government of the Dead' came into the heart of the City of London tonight for a 'Bonuses are Back Pig Party', wearing pig masks and setting up a trough with 'Pig Pounds' mixed with pig swill and getting snouts down and bottoms up to wallow in it. Chris Knight treated (if that's the correct word) us to his singing of the traditional labour movement song, 'The Man Who Waters the Workers Beer' but fortunately mainly kept to shouting out the news that 'Bonuses are Back' and inviting the homeward workers to come and swill in the trough, all provided at the taxpayers expense thanks to Gordon Brown. City workers on their way home stopped in amazement and some tourists donned the latex masks provided and joined in while others simply photographed one of the slightly more unusual sights of London. The City of London Police (given the occasion it would be confusing and unfair to call them pigs) stood back and watched.
