I can’t really add much more to the situation, except to wait, until I know all the facts (or as many as we’ll ever know) before either throwing up, or leaving the country. I find it utterly despicable that these wasters have the gall to demand millions of pounds in “bonus” (try and remind yourself what a bonus is) and are prepared to walk out if they don’t get it. These are the same people who would not have had a company / job if Mr Tax payer hadn’t stepped in with a 70% stake yet they will turn their backs and demand a bonus! Remember here that there are millions of people out of a job now, and thousands of companies down the pan because of bad banking. Great job guys.

This could be a big test of the labor government. So much politician bluff has been spewed about cracking down on “Bankers Bonuses” but now it’s reckoning day. UKFI has the veto but will they use it? Will they be able to display any sense of control? Time will tell.

(p.s. apologies to the one RBS investment banker I know. You know it’s not just you I’m picking on!)
