Gotta love it :nope:
Nations are in debt and these stinkers are still walking out the door with a fat wallet.

Cameron will do bugger all about it, after all its these gits who donate to the Tory party :down::down::down::down:

This is outrageous, how dare they only give him £900k of bonus shares, he did show a small profit after all.
As he got a bonus of £6million when he was posting a loss he should be getting an immense bonus this year from your tax payers, not a measly £900k.

Well, I hope I make his Christmas list! :DL

You went to the wrong school and were not in the correct political club there to make the list.

Well then...tut-tut. Bastage is making way too much money. :stare:

There was a discussion about this on Jeremy Vine's show on Radio 2, basically he's halved the staff to save money - can anyone else see the flaw in this?

His bonus alone could keep 50 people reasonably employed and paid.

Oh wait - it will: His driver, his cleaning staff, his groundsmen, his string of husseys? :03:

ffs

All the noise, all the 'hard line on bankers' talk from electioneering politicians, it means FA. It really does.

I'm starting to warm to the idea that the only thing these ***** will listen to is a good old fashioned lynch mob, who drag one of these greedy bastards out of their office/limousine/mansion and string them up from the nearest lamp post before setting them on fire and dancing around their ashes until dawn.
Cold war firing squad is not bloody enough, we need to go middle east on their arses.

Oh well, better go and calm down, have a drink and forget about those iniquities that will never change.

Lol, that is almost, word for word, what I said to someone this afternoon.

Of course, RBS is owned by the country now so, as the majority shareholder, this has been OK'd by the government.

The same government that, amongst everything else, got rid of the Educational Living Allowance that allows kids from underprivileged backgrounds the financial means to complete high school...The same government that is happy to lynch those on benefits (because they're all basically lazy fraudsters apparently,) but will do absolutely nothing about the flagrant tax avoidance by rich individuals and corporations that costs the country far, far more than that wasted on benefit cheats.

There is a line from Withnail and I that always makes me think of the Tories: 'Free for those who can afford it. Very expensive for those who can't.'

Money will always make money.

Sad but true.

The worst point of this whole thing is that RBS is now own by the government which owns +80% and yet Cameron & Clegg have not lifted a finger on this issue. Even if Ed Miliband was in power I don't believe even he would lift a finger.

Your probably right :yep:

I was slightly confused when Boris objected to the bonus, after all its only chicken-feed in terms of income.....but then I remembered you have an election coming up over there for his job in London.

Red Ken is now in front of the polls, Boris is going down.
