Leaving aside the argument about whether he deserves this or not (and I think not!!!) isn't it dammed bad timing on Camerons part? He is cutting everything to the bone, expects people to take it without a murmur, and then allows this to happen!!!! Why is anyone surprised that there is an outcry?? We are all in it together are we? Yeah right!!
We, that is the government, which means the taxpayers, are the major shareholders in RBS, so why did Cameron and Co not put a stop to this? Or at least cap it at £26,000 which is what benefits are about to be capped at? They are crowing that it was kept below 1 million, aye 5k below, whoopi woo!!! This is of course, on top of his million + salary!! Why the hell do people want so much? It's IMO just greed gone mad!!
And cop a load of this!!! Don't forget, it's taxpayer money that has been used, money that could be put to better use!!! www.guardian.co.uk/business/2012/jan/27/royal-bank-scotland-washington-lobbyists

Yes, it beats me too, that this is happening....it's the old adage "that the money goes to those that have it". A nice example of the super rich is, of course, Bill Gates and a few others who give a lot of their fortune away to good causes. Why can't our Mr Hester do this or can't he manage on his salary!?

If anyone did not catch Question Time this week, I advise you to find it on "catch up". (BBC1 10:30pm Thursday) Mark Steel puts this issue into better perspective than I could ever hope to do. You dont have to watch the whole programme...Its the first question. Though the 2nd question is also related. Its also repeated tonight at 6PM. Shows how the propoganda about capping benefits is a diversion away for the real "scroungers".

"Give his money away to good causes" You've got to be joking, he a banker!!! Lloyd Blankfein the CEO of investment bank Goldman Sachs said "Inequility is the only way to achieve prosperity for all" Typical bankers snug attitude, the very same as Hester has. BTW George W. Bush worked for Goldman Sachs as a special adviser, and you can't get a bigger merchant banker that him.
