Apparently Alistair Darling has the veto on RBS bonuses.

But will he use it?

Well we were told things could only get better...for some.

Anyone going down to Speakers Corner this Sunday to hear Billy Bragg whoop it up?

Alistair Darling! why on earth did you not make it a condition

of the loan that no bonuses should be paid until said loan is paid off!!


We might have stood a better chance of recovering our taxes and avoided this

whole debacle from the outset.................

*shakes head in disbelief*

Because RBS (now a public "asset") would be left without any traders.


Nice idea though.

Theiving bastard bankers could be replaced by some of the more talented hard nosed Council Estate kids after a bit of training. How bloody hard can it be? If you need to be fearless, fast-thinking and ruthless, I could fill RBS with some of the kids I saw grow up on the Rockingham.

Just get the new ones to agree to a slary with no bonus, innit? Better for them than selling drugs or ducking and diving, but if they get uppity and want the fat bonuses, boot them out and bring in the fresh batch of newly trained estate kids!


In fact, since the universities have been pumping out way more law graduates than can get a job, newly qualified lawyers take much lower salaries than people realise. Maybe we should have banker degrees and subsidise the poor kids to get qualified. Just see how fast their salary will come down when you have a glut of qualified bankers looking for work!


There we go, i've solved the whole wanker banker crisis all by myself!

    • No I won't. This has nothing to do with Ryedale and everything to do with the way people approach news. 
    • I'm getting dozens of fliers a year from all the estate agents.  I'm not selling, thinking of selling or renting out. The one from John D Woods really got my goat as it is plastic coated so can't even be recycled.  I've emailed them.  They must be making so much money to to these mass mail outs.  I couldn't find the old thread about things that put you into an irrational rage (although this rage is not irrational) I have a nice time too watching GB win their first medal at the Winter Olympics - that is an understatement! I'll burn it, sod the tiny impact on air quality.
    • @PenguinYou will have to explain this to me bearing in mind your and others outrage at a possible new scheme on Ryedale, and the use by many on this forum of Southwark News to support their reaction. I don't know what precautionary mindset means.  The precautionary principle is that we need to act now for example in tackling climate change rather than wait twenty years for conclusive evidence (that was the situation in 2006 when Stern published his report) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stern_Review
    • Yes, and their sister (?) company Inigo has some interesting Not Modern properties as well! Interesting as in marvelling at people's very varied  tastes 🤣
