Bank bonuses

Considering this is the first time in over a decade, probably longer that any major financial institute has made a net loss, the directorship are just not mentally equipped to deal with such a position. They never gave an ounce of thought to how staff remuneration would work if the company reported a loss, because in their mines it was a one way bet.

Idiots, the lot of them

Go tell it to Clinton. Will he have to pay back his salary?

It’s one thing to blame Clinton, but George W Shrub spent 8 years not doing anything about it and running up huge government deficits at the same time. Mind you, I’d be surprised if Bush could even read ‘Credit Derivative’ without the aid of a remedial literacy teacher.

...I would have thought that the last person you want in charge of squillions is someone who's permanently suffering from nervous exhaustion and maybe resorting to a cocktail of drugs and booze to cope.

This is the MPC you're talking about, right?

Yes. They live in mines and work in banks. How things have progressed since the 1800's.
