General Discussion

I have never been a fan of social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook but now I am beginning to see how useful they can be.

ING customers mobilised on Twitter and other social networks protested at bonuses paid to bosses and threatened a run on the bank. The bankers had no choice but to give up their bonuses.

Duch politicians have since banned bonuses of bailed out banks by taxing them 100%.

So social networkers out there need to get together and coordinate a run on bailed out UK banks that are taking us for fools. I would start with RBS.

Well said Steve couldn't agree more.

Judging by the queue at Natwest in this morning though it would seem difficult to get this message across to the wealthy residents of Dawlish. There really needs to be a mass boycott of RBS/NATWEST and HALIFAX/LLOYDS TSB.

A return to the old system of local Mutual building societies looking after peoples money and futures would seem to be the way forward

@FRONTERAMAN,

Couldn't agree more. Unfortunately, I can't see it happening.
