A big fat zero in my opinion.
I bank with RBOS,and they want exorbitant bonuses,and yet are 84% owned by the general public,so taxpayers money would go to given them these enormous lump sums.
These are the same people who clobber you if you go overdrawn!
They are also the major creditors in the failed Dubai company too.
Why should they get large bonuses when they have nafe such a mess of their bank?

Not all of RBS lost money. The people who work in the profitable bits can hardly be expected to cover the losses of other companies in the group just because the business was run badly.
Would you expect to pay for someone elses screwups out of out of your wages cheque?
Get a grip, this whole thing was about a Labour Government sponsored housing boom that they failed to regulate but were happy to swallow the dodgy taxes being paid like pigs in a trough.
All the accellerated VAT and Stamp Duty being paid by us was based on a New Labour con that property just rises for ever.
The real crook is Gordon Brown who just wants to throw blame elsewhere.
The big managers of RBS were his friends who got Knighted for their services to propping up this huge government swindle on us all.
The con men are in Whitehall!

When you say 'bankers' do you mean all people who work for a bank or just the fat-cat bosses?
My fiance works on counter for a bank for a measly 13k a year,counter staff usually get bonuses(that they work hard for) twice a year but these have been stopped because banks have been pressured into it by the general public being up in arms about it all. The bonus he used to get was maybe £300/£500 per year,he won't be getting that this year.............Merry Christmas all. :-(

Naughty Mr V no I am no friend of I didn't know Sir Fred Goodwin but I do think the biggest crooks of all are the polilticians who were happy to scoop up the Stamp Duty, all the VAT on those five year no interst to pay deals and the taxes paid on profits from building companies.
If you want a crook in the UK his name is Gordon Brown with his voodoo budgets for 10 years.

David, you are advocating banks should work differently to other companies, why ?
I worked for a large company and when a division within that company got into problems, profits from other divisions were pumped in to keep it going. They didn't go running to other sources for help but sorted it internally. If part of the bank is making profits then it's up to them to use that profit to help themselves, not run crying to the government for help and then carry on giving themselves a bonus.

Vulcan bonuses are based on who you work for not some division.
Also I am sure there are quite a few employees who would have preferred RBS and Lloyds to fail and their unit by sold to people who were not incompetent. Plenty of ex Lehmans people are happy to work for Barclays.
The only really stupid people in the mix were the politicians who decided to buy these bankrupt banks and sadly us who will pay their bill.
