I've been reading some of the arguments about why Hester should receive a large bonus. They are all based on the idea that he has turned the company around. There is nothing in his contract that obliges a bonus. If this is the case, why is is the share price 28p? It doesn't look like the markets have any faith in RBS. The true reality is, the bankers and their cartel are running the show and no ...
So much for petitioning... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-16751691 Just goes to show how weak polititians are. They always talk the talk, but when it comes to action they are just a bunch of cowardly c*ck suckers. And they wonder why it ends in riots. Where are my shares anyway?
@Lynne , if the news article is true then the bonus pool should be zero or negative as 007 puts it since the performance of the company has been abysmal. Also, we have reached 100,000 signatures, so there is no excuse for the goverment. Anyway, why doesn't the government buy up the remaining 17% of RBS and just use it as a peoples bank to lend to businesses and house buyers?
@Brazilnut , what does your post "completed" mean?
@Nelson , it was you that started on jools88 and not the other way round. perhaps if you left him alone he wouldn't get so annoyed with you.
Well, the minimum wage is £6.08 which amounts to £12,646.40 a year for a 40 hour week and paid holidays. So I do not know where this £26K nett £35K gross figure comes from. Someone pointed out on Question Time the other night that the majority of full-time workers in supermarkets in the UK also receive benefits since they are considered to be on a low income. So here we are again in a situation ...
I would also be against Rooney and Beckham being paid out of tax payers' money. I don't think anyone is against people earning as much money as they can. In fact that is what most of us try and do. The key word here is "earning". This goes for the benefit scrougers also. £26K is way too much. It is hardly an incentive to get a job is it? If a gross wage of £35K is needed to prevent people from ...
http://www.avaaz.org/en/stop_rbs_bonuses_a/ Not Dawlish per se, but I think most people on here would agree this is not a good use of tax payers money.
I couldn't give two hoots about the Royals. I just like having time off work. That is something to celebrate.
When I hear fund raising is involved it puts me off. Let's face it, there are more charities, charity shops and fundraising schemes than there has ever been and has this made a jot of different in to world? Most charities and trusts, like the Devon Air Ambulance and Coastguards, should not even be charities. These essential services should be funded by taxes. I would have no issue with seeing £x ...
