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"!!

NO IFS, NO BUTS - PASS ON THE CUT | Facebook


Best Regards - Taggy

Re: Stop The Bank Bonus's (Facebook)

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.

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!

Re: Stop The Bank Bonus's (Facebook)

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.

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?
