The latest surge in support has grabbed the attention of several Treasury officials who have requested a formal breakdown of our specific demands. I am currently finalizing a briefing paper for their review to ensure the pressure remains targeted on the board's compensation structure.

How dare bankers be given bonuses when they are not making profits or benefiting their customers who save and bank with them! If banks are state owned then re-payments should be given first to the government who bailed them out, not as bonuses to people who were involved in making the banking disaster.
I am outraged with yet more bonuses being paid to a collective bunch of failures under the RBS umbrella. I am against extortionate amounts being paid out but it wouldn't be as bad if the taxpayer saw something for the money given to bail them out. Still they lose money year I year out.
It's time the Government stopped these bonuses for people doing the jobs they are already well paid to so do. The bankers who made the mess have not been taken to task and the working poor are unjustly paying for their mess!
"So, These "Great" bankers that talk about leaving the country if they don't receive obscene bonuses, the same greedy people that put our country in the mess we're in. They threaten to leave if they don't get more money, call their bluff, let them go. Will they find these marvelous new jobs as easily as they say, or is this another myth they're selling us? The government needs to stand up to these people a million pound plus salary is a fine reward for pushing our county into financial ruin.
For goodness' sake; call the bankers' bluff and do not pay this bonus. If they want to leave let them; there are plenty other talented people around.
Must not be allowed to happenings a disgrace
Austerity on working people and yet bonuses for banks is out of the question and WRONG!
