RBS is getting a kicking for its billion pound bonus package at the same time as taking god knows how much money off the taxpayer.
Yes, RBS has been run into the ground, taken on too much high risk debt and over-extended itself buying ABN Amro, but the majority of RBS staff weren’t responsible for the bad decisions – they were just doing their jobs and have continued to do so in the face of mass redundancies and an uncertain future.
The people at the top – the chairman, the board and senior managers – shouldn’t get any bonus whatsoever until the bank has paid the taxpayer back every penny it’s had from the bailout. But the ordinary staff aren’t responsible for the collapse of RBS and they shouldn’t be punished for it – if their individual performance merits a bonus then they should get it.

Fucking parasites!!!!!
No, dont pay them the bonii, apparently it will make all the big traders leave and to my mind, getting them to leave first will save on any unpleasantness at the redundency tribunals
Fucking parasites!!!!! (part 2)

redditch is down your way in flatland?
How can it be right or fair for bank bosses to pocket huge bonus payments for doing such a bad job that they not only came close to bankrupting the country, but put a large number of taxpayers savings at risk? People relying on interest from savings accounts built up over years of thrifty saving are finding it hard to cope and people’s homes across the country are being re-possessed by the very banks that these same people’s tax money has kept afloat. BUT WE CAN STOP IT! I call upon all those who do business with the bailed-out banks to pledge to withdraw all their savings from any such institution that pays out bonus payments to its managers or staff. Lets see how they react with the threat of a run on their banks looming over them!
How far is it from redditch to westminster?
Too far to drive?
I think not….
