RBS scrapes into £9m net profit
I suppose RBS staff will be clammering for bonuses now. Could I have one please after all as a taxpayer I am a shareholder in this financial success story.

Ignorant of the facts
I take issue with the above comment as I know people who work for RBS they leave home in the morning probably when you are still in bed and arrive home when you are watching TV soaps, they contributed to the profits which RBS made which will ultimately pay back the taxpayers money with I might add a substantial profit to us the taxpayer we will not see any of that either, perhaps you should ask for a share,I think you should understand that the majority of the bonuses paid are well deserved and a minority possibly not, but at sometimes 12 hour days they deserve it, or would you prefer RBS to sink then we would have no return and the taxpayer would have to pay benefits to the unemployed.......perhaps you should direct your comments to things like the government MPs fiddling and the unneccesary cosmetic operations on the NHS which we pay for with no return to us the taxpayer....I could go on but the list is endless

Ignorant of the facts
For your information G Bishop I have worked more than my fair share of 12 hour days. I have worked an average of 60 hours per week since I came into this industry nearly 20 years ago. I have never had a complaint, have high persistency and low NTU,s. I do not believe the UK taxpayer should pick up the tab for RBS or any other bank. The taxpayer has never had to bail me out or any company I have ever worked for and why should they. How much money do you think the taxpayer should pump into a bank ? I agree with those who say let them go to the wall. Instead of pumping BILLIONS into the RBS final salary pension scheme the money could have been used to compensate their deposit holders. Once you give a blank cheque you have no way of knowing how much it will end up costing you. By the way Space Ranger I do not watch soaps although you seem to know something about them which possibly explains why you are so emotional.
