RBS paying back the taxpayer

That as well. But if the bank executives want to go private then fine - pay the UK taxpayer the £5 a share they bailed you out for and off you go.

I think I'd expect a bit of profit for the country for being so nice to the bank and bailing them out. If the only benefit in a sale is in the bank executives favour then keep hold of the shares.

Careful now! We are a matter of days away from needing to 'negotiate' a trade deal with these feckers. It won't take two years either, in fact I can sum it up now in five words. "That's the terms. Sign here."

I'm not a qualified or experienced negotiator but I believe in my response.

A condition of the bailout should have been regular ritual humiliation for all upper management.

Just some jail-time would have done for most of them. Can you imagine the scenes if they joined our merry band of brothers on that wing in Durham on the C4 documentary? Then all it would have taken would be anti-city protesters wandering the streets of the Square mile and Canary Wharf every day, to instill a sense of morality into the shameless bastards!
Fining them is ludicrous BTW. It's like punishing fish by saying 'I'm taking a little bit of your water away'.

neoliberalism demands it will be back in private hands soon . remember all profits are privatised and all losses socialised
 
That £977million could lead to the abolishment of the bedroom tax

Can only be good news using this for that?

£1 billion was the cost William Hague stated in a debate on abolishing it. An amount of huge proportions and which, he stated, could not be afforded , due to austerity

Well 1/2 a billion to the dup, was described as a small amount to pay, to help a strong and stable government in place.

This can only be good news

Compare and contrast
