Will Gordon Brown show some backbone and stop the bankers at RBS and Lloyds stealing our money?
Some idiot ruins Lloyds TSB sign
Outrage this morning as it emerged that 200 Lloyds TSB executives are going to receive big bonuses (up to 80% of their annual salaries). The executives are receiving bonuses for sacking 11,000 HBOS staff after the ill fated take over last year. Lloyds is one of the banks that tax payers bailed out because they are so rubbish with money.
Brown and Darling had signalled earlier this week that they would stop a massive £1.5 billion payout to RBS executives (RBS is another crappy state owned bank). But the RBS board threatened to resign en masse and it looks like Gordy is backing down from a confrontation.
Cast your predictions now for whether Gordon Brown will stop the RBS and Lloyds bonuses.

There are too many reasons against this.. Love it or hate it, I wish I had a bonus this year!
If he has the power, I would say yes. This could only help him with the average British voter.
