The RBS board of directors have threatened to quit if they are not allowed to pay bonuses of £2,000,000,000 to the investment bankers that work for them.
Is it fair that bankers should be rewarded like this after recent events or does government intervention on these matters mean that RBS will lose its most intelligent and profitable staff?
Personally, I think the RBS bosses are acting disgracefully and the Chancellor should accept their resignations immediately.
Since these guys allowed the Bank to get into the mess it did and it was only Government funding that got them out then I think that accepting their resignations would not be a bad thing.
There are probably as able or better waiting in the wings to replace them.
The Country is still in recession and it is obscene for these levels of bonuses being paid at this time.
The money should be put towards the Countries debts.
