Bankers are at fault, for buying and selling toxic debt, a small number of the public are at fault, for taking loans/mortgages that you have no hope in hell of affording, and a government who let it happen, and then nearly bankrupt the country, bailing the banks out, but not using ANY of it's new influence it has in the bank, to make them change.

So, lets not bullshit about poor bankers..... I feel sorry for the people who have worked for 40 years, paid into a pension all his life, for it now to be worthless thanks to Gordon Brown pillaging it, and the banks squandering it.
The pension was only ever worth more than putting it in a shoe box because of the bankers though!!

Anyway, I do agree bonuses shouldn't be given when it goes wrong at least!

Although, I'll be getting a bonus this year from a loss making none banking business, should I turn it down??
