you've lost me with that goose ???????
perhaps you could explain
..........To say bankers benefited from government assistance is disingenuous.. so did lawyers, hedgies, accountants etc. Why not tax their bonuses as well?
I didn't think our government could sink any lower than it has, but it continues to amaze. They should all be arrested and shot dead for the treason of attempting (and possibly succeeding) to destroy the United Kingdom.
I'm sure they are worth every penny...
Joking aside, if top bankers get millions because of what they've learned rather that what they are born with, then surely that can be addressed by the government devoting additional resources to training. Perhaps the top guys are born with extreme focus, determination and intelligence, and are simply cashing in on their genes, but I suspect their skills can be taught in the classroom. If thousands of footballers had Wayne Rooney's skills, he wouldn't get paid millions, and the same must apply to bankers on multi-million pound bonuses.

Have you been living on the moon for the last year and a half ? Or maybe its pharmaceutical ......
Bill Clinton repealed the Glass-Steagal Act which, in essence, amongst other things demarcated retail and commercial banks from investment banks.

And there was me thinking that George "the clot" Bush was the worst American president ever !!
They certainly know how to pick 'em
where do they find these guys -
Backwoods of Arkansas, ranches in Texas, peanut farms in Georgia, back streets of Chicago....
Doen't say much for USA democracy if this sort of person becomes the President.
You would think that they would pick their best man/woman
OMG ----------------unless they are the best that they can offer.
The clearest sign we have had so far that Brown has now destroyed this country, was the picture of him and Sarkozy whispering sweet nothings to each other.
I don't know about anyone else, but that scared the **** out of me.

That's what will save UK businesses at risk from foreign competition
