daftlad Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Well, they're certainly crying a bit and have spat the dummy out. well thats tough on them isnt it. considering after the mess some of the banks got in and were bailed out by taxpayers money. They should pay more tax instead of the telephone number bonuses to their employers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12389416 Osborne has more sense than to "hammer" the banks, since he has no desire for them to move their head offices out of London and cost the country jobs. Whether he can get away with billing them another £800 million, we shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 £800 million is jack sugar... They are paying themselves £8 BILLION in bonuses. Osbourne is laughing at us all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blanco Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 So we lost all the industry to cheap labour (steel to Jap etc), so we focussed on service but that went to cheap labour (contact centres to india etc) and about all we have left is the financial industry which is looking at emerging markets and starting to relocate (HSBC moving chairman to HK etc). What we need is a big tax on banks to make them put their prices up (you dont think they'll just absorb it do you??) and give them further reason to desert a sinking ship. sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hear so much from these overpaid prima donnas about pishing off abroad if we put up their taxes......big deal, lets call their bluff and see how many do.

Andy Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Not before they pay back what the taxpayer gave them I hope.. What about the ones who didn't take a penny from the tax payer? HSBC, Barclays, Standard Chartered etc. Why should they now pay more taxes and have the government sticking their noses in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
