Stuart Gulliver. He runs HSBC.

It's just been revealed that, on top of his £1.2m salary and bonus, he's being handed £32,000 a week as an 'allowance'.

That's right - he earns more in weekly *additional* income than most people do in a year.

Reckon HSBC can afford a Robin Hood Tax?

Maybe we should have all studied harder at school...

I have no problem with how much someone earns if they are actually competent to do the job...

Obscene may not be the correct word, Maggie but it's the one that springs to my mind...x

I was going to say that I wish I was Mrs. Gulliver but looking at him on the link................nah.

£32,00 a week allowance? i'm going to organise a whip round

[ummmm]

Would yous refuse it if it was offered to you?

I very much doubt it.

He could have earned more if he could play football !.

[Tilly2]

I'd be worried about where I was going to save it. Interest rates are so low these days.

[gness]

Then your doubts are misplaced.

[ummmm]

Not for the majority.

Could have not would have.
