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??
No, you put money into a pension, for it to be safely invested, not squandered, which it has been, I do agree that the banks should be split, and the general banking, should be forced to 'safely invest' your money, if you 'wish' to take the risk, then that should be made obvious. The crisis was over selling and buying of toxic debt, which was started by the banks, and traders made millions in bonuses on that, only for it to nearly take down the Free Market Economy.

Now, we as a public, own large stakes in the banks, the government should now use this position, to force changes in the banking structure, and bonus culture.
