RBS Bonus

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-16783571

I saw Ed Miliband at the weekend say that the Government should stop the bonus. Er.........Ed, in case you didn't know, Gordon Brown signed his contract. His contract entitles him to the bonus. You can't just ignore employee's contracts - it's the law!!!!
I assume, then, that if Ed Miliband thinks the Government can just ignore the contract that his predecessor signed, then it will be OK for the Government to change all the public sector workers' contracts and change their pensions?
