I think they'd have a far harder job claiming the extra fees to prop up the ridiculous bonuses that are paid out
But yes, I agree. We'll pay for it in the end anyway. We'll all pay.

And meanwhile, certain individuals will still get into positions where they're able to run up £16,000 bar bills on the proceeds.

I'd wager that you earn vastly more than most people on this planet.
To them your 2 pints down the pub on a Friday equate to a week's wages. That's also unfair. Morally I agree that living in such an unequal world is horrible, wrong etc but there are lots of people who earn a great deal of money.

Disassembling what is great sweeping moral conviction from what pragmatically can and should happen is very tricky and can provide us with virtually no easy answers.

I cannot tell you how aroused I am right now.

Yes - hence my agreement that were I a banker I'd be wiping my arse on £50 notes and flicking the Vs at the poor.
It's just that the money I earn is fair and square, and if I lose the company a shedload of money then I'll get fired. Doesn't seem to have happened with the bankers. If anything, the likes of Fred Goodwin have actually done rather well out of overseeing the largest losses in financial history.

But hey. If I was in that position I would have bought my own TV channel specifically for publically laughing at the nation from my multi-million dollar secret hideaway.

And the majority of the bankers that made the mistakes got fired.
Believe me, the inside of an "investment bank" looks very different today than it did 5 years ago.

I don't think I understand at all then.
You can't get upset at bankers being rich cunts and then agree that in their position you'd be the same or worse. You rich cunt. I thought you were idealistic and venting but it turns out you're just jealous and whining.

So you are a cunt then.

In other words, you like whining but you can't be arsed to do anything constructive.
You're a tit.

Name me someone on the planet that isn't a tit.
And doesn't whine about things while not doing anything constructive.

Oh - oh you can't.

I can't do anything constructive about the banking situation other than pay tax, and everyone reserves the right to whining about having to pay tax.

You've been given a way to do something constructive. To work towards something better.
It's easy to get involved. A lot of people already are.

Stop being so bloody pathetic. You look like a cock.

Your mother looks like a cock.
Chill, baby. It's only opinionsontheinternetslol

But do carry on telling me I'm pathetic.
