Occupy Wall Street may want to wake-up and take notice of how to effectively protest and change corporate misbehavior. The bloody limey are taking over the pay of top executives.

Mining company Xstrata, hedge fund Man Group, banks Credit Suisse, UBS and Barclays have had significant *NO* votes on remuneration packages. Today, they ousted the CEO of Aviva.
