Are you as sick to the back teeth as I am with the way in which the banks are still whining about having to pay a tiny, weenie bit more tax than they had to before? The Government really clamped down on them, didn't they?; respecting the huge majority view of the people of this country and the way in which 'we' are all now suffering for the bank's incompetence - NOT!
For me, personally, one disturbing fact has come to light since the credit crunch and that is just how petrified the government are of the banking industry. Of course, the politicians all pretend to be in charge of this country, but let us all now face facts - this definitely is not the case!
As banks like to feel that they are all forgiven now for their faux pas, dealing with credit card applications and commercial property in London, we are all still wondering exactly when the bonus culture is going to be stopped once and for all?
The government purports that the banking industry would suffer if they were not permitted to allocate vast bonuses to their staff and we all know that it is not as difficult as all that. All it would take is for the weak-kneed leaders of the G8 countries to get together and legislate international law that prohibited such dividends in the future and then it would be job done.
Obviously the greedy bank staff will have something to say about this and yes, many will resign. But we really would not care, as it would be a case of accepting another job that paid a realistic salary in the first place and was not to the detriment of the country.
