"There seems to be talk of the need for a level playing field because reducing bankers bonuses only in Europe will put us at a disadvantage globally. I don't have any problem with bonuses at all, I think all working people should be given bonuses several times their annual wage as a matter of course and if they are sacked or made redundant then they should also be given a large payoff. Everybody who gets hopelessly into debt through gambling should have all their debts paid off for them so they can start again and everybody who commits theft and fraud should be let off. Then we would have a level playing field."

I'm sure this is an initiative we can all get behind.

Any business that hands out 700m in bonuses when they made a loss that size is seriously wrong in some way.
Can't imagine a building firm paying bonuses if they made a loss, for example, they'd be laying people off.
I'm aware these bonuses are "contractual" but that says more about the culture of nakers than anything else imo.

nakers should be bankers, obv, but I'm going to leave it.
