Lord Myners, Gordon Brown’s City Minister gave an interesting interview in the Times on Saturday and was quoted again in the Sunday Times.

“I have met more masters of the universe than I would like to, people who were grossly over-rewarded and did not recognise that. Some of that is pretty unpalatable”.

He slated the “over-rewarded banking industry”.

There’s one thing we can be sure of, Lord Myners must be a very humble man.

You wont find anyone pointing a finger at this man and citing any massive city bonuses he has taken either in shares or one off lump sum payments. No, this is something I truly believe because only a fool would say;

“I have met more masters of the universe than I would like to, people who were grossly over-rewarded and did not recognise that. Some of that is pretty unpalatable”.

If he had taken rewards or payments which were in any way similar in size to those of the banking bosses he has criticised. This must be the case, Surely?
