Stop The Bank Bonus's (Facebook)
 

I see that John Prescott has helped launch a Facebook campaign to stop the Bank Bonus's. I think most on here will probably agree with the idea. I do think its somewhat ironic though that its Prescott who's getting his "teeth" into the "Fat Cats"!!;)

can't say i think much of the idea, whatever needs to be done, should be done through government channels, not a cheap publicity site like Facebook.:(

Re: Stop The Bank Bonus's (Facebook)
 

Always seems to be to much Red Tape and time consuming going through Government Channels though Cashy, Government only seem to listen when you get a real groundswell of Public Opinion forcing the issue! I do agree Facebook is a load of crap though!:D

Since I joined Facebook recently I have been bombarded with requests to 'join this' to protest against 'that'.
A few campaigns are worthy causes, but they are made to look trivial by the fact that Facebook is the place where jokey 'tongue in cheek' campaigns are the norm

Me too Jaysay.
I would much rather that the situation with the banks was resolved in some other way......they all(government and the banks) know that there is a groundswell of opinion against them, and the abysmal way they have treated their customers.

Re: Stop The Bank Bonus's (Facebook)
 

Is that THE John Prescott???

Didnt expect him to have facebook lol.

Re: Stop The Bank Bonus's (Facebook)
 

It is the John Prescott, apart of the government that hold majority shares in RBS. Why don't they just do it instead of setting up facebook campaigns?

Re: Stop The Bank Bonus's (Facebook)
 

I'm against it obviously( well for ground level staff ) :D

Just depends on how low under ground level you stoop Entwisi.. and you have gone deep... oops no offence eh.

Re: Stop The Bank Bonus's (Facebook)
 

Remember i work for one that hasn't cost you a penny mate. We've had a very good year and delivered really good service on a very tight cost challange. It has also been very clear for a number of years in my Bank that bonuses are not there for 'doing the job'. They are there to reward those of us that go teh extra mile and provide service well in advance of our role/grade.

Re: Stop The Bank Bonus's (Facebook)
 

All the banks have cost me .. and everyone else a "penny mate".. your bank may have made a profit but a profit from who.? a profit from borrowing at rate and then selling at a rate..customer service?... the service your bank and all the others depends on the amount of cash the customer has or owes you.. you take great pride in stating that your bank has not gone cap n hand to the Gvernment.. do you imagine your bank would have survived when the others went to the wall?.. or are you still in the illusion that banking.. bankers that got us into this mess.. banking is the only way to run a community.. you are a banker.. my son

Re: Stop The Bank Bonus's (Facebook)
 

err, run a bank account in credit and it costs you NOTHING. despite it costing the Bank a fortune to supply you with a network of Branches, ATMs, and the hundreds ofmillions of pounds worth of infrastructure to support your 'free' banking. People believe it or not can live happily without debt, its not compulsory!!!

If YOU choose to borrow money then you are buying a service just like buying a potato. you wouldn't expect teh market lads to give them to you do you? so why expect banks to lend you money( at risk ) for no return?

Re: Stop The Bank Bonus's (Facebook)
 

nice one.. try telling that to the millions of Irish people that starved .. maybe long ago .. say 150yrs.. shows how far we have come.. you would sell me a potato at a price..cheers mate ..here's a vid of you and your "banker" mates.. hope it dosent happen to you eh!;)

Thought For The Day


It is no accident that banks resemble temples, preferably Greek, and that the supplicants who come to perform the rites of deposit and withdrawal instinctively lower their voices into the registers of awe. Even the most junior tellers acquire within weeks of their employment the officiousness of hierophants tending an eternal flame. I don't know how they become so quickly inducted into the presiding mysteries, or who instructs them in the finely articulated inflections of contempt for the laity, but somehow they learn to think of themselves as suppliers of the monetarized DNA that is the breath of life.
