Have the banker's taken wage cuts?

[flobadob]

I see that Mervyn King was on the news saying workers will have to accept wage cuts? Have the banker's who caused the financial mess we are in taken wage cuts? From what I've been hearing the banker's are actually back to paying the same bonuses that they were receiving before the recession started. I thought they would wait a year or two more before they took the proverbial out of society. Sick sick sick.

If you want to keep the bankers and banking institutions in the UK, then you will need to pay them the bonuses........if you don´t then they will push off elsewhere and we need the centre of banking in Europe to be in the UK.

I couldn´t care less about the banker´s bonuses, it doesn´t affect my life style.

Oh! and by the way didn´t Harriot Harmon and Chery Blair say that they would drag Sir
Samual Goodwin, or whatever his name was through the courts to get his huge pensions back?......All quiet there then.

Let´s move on from the bankers bonuses.

Unfortunately,Sqad is right.

rov...thanks....that´s the guy.

Perhaps I was thinking of Samuel Goldwyn.........LOL

I was asking whether or not the financial sector has taken wage cuts. I only mentioned the bonuses as they are a further kick in the teeth to ordinary people.

[rov1200]

I'm amazed they didn't keep the bonus tax going. If a bank can afford to pay exorbitant bonuses they could make a payment for the trouble they have caused. They have no excuse!

What if you don't want to keep the parasites in the UK?

Its actually hard to believe the neck these bastards have. They mess the economy up whilst making a fortune for themselves and ripping off taxpayers. Then they get the taxpayers to pay the cost of cleaning up the mess. Then they take the clean up money to pay themselves massive wages and bonuses, and the mess is still there. And of course the worst is still to come.
