Geoff.C 0 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 The banks lose billions of pounds of investors (our) money by gambling with it. Brown and co bale them out with a shit load more of our money, so they have funds to loan out etc. So instead of getting the money markets flowing again, they award themselves a fat bonus for being abject failures. Some jumped up spokesman reckoned they had to pay bonuses to keep the best staff! Aint it the best staff that caused the situation we are in?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aint it the best staff that caused the situation we are in?? brown bails these banks out with our money and then fails to stop the 'you fail we reward you' culture,brown still has many unanswered questions yet,even before the credit crunch crisis,he is making sure 'he is taking action on 'saving the world'so that he can be seen raising his own profile,but there is still the 'small matter' of our pension fund which he raided and is still part of our problem,but it's great as he says the fault lay with the sub prime market which started in america,he won't be in power next election,but the worst problem is the tory's will take over from him,we are in a real mess.......debate!

Yokel Matt 918 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Not 'the banks' mate... thats just RBS! I agree mate - rewards for success, no problem. Staff need some incentives so maybe a token bonus but the management and directors who rubber stamp the decision making that facilitated this problem Bad Call. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jayd 0 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Only ones I don't have a problem with taking Bonuses are Barclays, because they aren't state funded. But the ones which have begged for money, giving bonuses? Like shi'ite they should. Staff on the shop floor, maybe a small one. Ones who do all the stock market palaver, no chance.
