No social welfare bonus this year

Surely the bonus should be scrapped for anyone on the dole for over a year and not punish people in receipt of other social welfare payments such as pensioners and people on illness benefit.

I work and don't get a Christmas bonus.. What entitles them to one?

They have more time to protest and stop traffic until they get their way.

Great system in Germany when I was there . Your salary was divided by 13 months . So in December we got one paid out as usual on the 1st and one paid out on the 15th of December . We had two months paid in December

That's cool! In my previous job I had something similar. I could take an extra month of unpaid time off. My salary for 11 months was divided into 12 and I received payment the month I was out.
