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.

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!

    • So what is the issue? You want compensation for the loss of value, or you want to expedite the matter?
    • No. What happened? I actually thought, considering it was what we used to call Guy Fawkes Day last night, the loud noises from  fireworks ended remarkably early. About 9pm? Maybe I just fell asleep and didn't hear any later ones. Do people actually burn Guys any more? Apart from at places like Lewes, where I believe they still have Bonfire Societies and burn effigies of various political figures etc.
    • The accompaniment to our "Christmas Pudding" aka Nothing-Whatever-Like-A- Christmas-Pudding last year  at The Cherry Tree was "brandy butter ice-cream." If it had ever been near any brandy, the brandy must have been waved in its direction from a very great distance. Same with butter. The ice cream tasted like bog standard "vanilla" from a catering tub. At least it did bear some resemblance to ice cream. Whereas the "Christmas Pudding" bore no resemblance whatever to any Christmas Pudding I have ever seen or tasted in my many  decades of seeing and tasting Christmas Puddings. Oh, and Cinzano Bianco. Bleurgh. My sister used to drink that. 🤢
