I don’t know what planet the RBS Board are on but if they think that they should get their way and pay investment bankers £1.5 Billion in bonuses or resign, frankly they should resign.

This bank is effectively owned by the British Tax payer that has pumped billions into keeping it afloat. There would be no investment bankers at RBS if it wasn’t for taxpayers money, in fact there wouldn’t be a Royal Bank of Scotland.

It’s been a hard year for many. There are many wondering how they will manage this Christmas, whether they can afford presents and all the other goodies – whilst they struggle to afford food and bills. There are many that had decent jobs a year ago and are now unemployed. There are many that owned there own homes that now live with others, rent, or are even homeless or up to their necks in debt.

So perhaps a decent christmas present for the investment staff at RBS would be a nice card from the Chairman and Alastair Darling a thankyou for all their hard work a christmas party and a gentle reminder that they still have a job this year thanks to us all.

There but for the grace of God….
