I have a whole lot of sympathy for those that come on here and feel aggrieved by the City and what it has contributed to the country's economic woes.
i dont. i dont recall anyone complaining about the money they brought in that drove economic boom for the past 10 years. i dont recall anyone asking where the government was getting all the borrowing from to fund all Labours pet projects that couldnt actually be afforded by income that year. funny how the MPs now find it all so repulsive, while last spring many where found to have their own fingers in the till. Deflecting attention?
also funny how people forget that if RBS Investment wing has made £6 billion in profit, then the treasury has a couple of billion tax, or that of the £1.5 billion bonus pot, at least another 20% will be going to treasury.
