We're all in this together.

The real issue here is not the hugely excessive earnings by top bankers, that will happen whether its salaried or from bonus payments, but the fact that bonus payments incentivises risk, which is how we all ended up bailing out the banks through austerity.
 
Tax the poor, screw them well
Bleed the b'stards dry
While I force an oily tear
From the corner of my crocodile eye

Slash their libraries, close them down
Pulp their bloody books
And fill the space with bingo halls
To show we give two little ducks

Give them zero-hour contracts
And force them into debt
Another one onto the street
Is another room to let

Weā€™ll get them collecting faeces
From off the streets and parks
And pay malnourishment wages
Push them into the mouths of smiling loan sharks

And Englandā€™s green and pleasant land
Shall be taken back bit by bit
Til her feudal hills and dales resound to
ā€œPeasant, pick up that piece of s**t!ā€

And as a slavish media reverberates
With royalty and foreigners and weather
Just pick up your turd and swallow the lie
ā€œWeā€™re all in this togetherā€.

Exactly this. Let them award bonuses as stock options that don't vest for 10 years.
 
And yet the poor just keep voting these tory pigs in. Without the vote of the poor they wouldn't get in. Its that simple. So, its turkeys voting for christmas.
Populism is here to stay. Facts and truth are becoming increasingly irrelevant. A tax cut on the rich is just what this country needs right now, isn't i?

And that's all these bankers are now, but nobody wants to admit it; they all want to pretend they provide a crucial purpose in a well-functioning economy. So they call them "bonuses" not "commission".

Good description that. Do absolutely anything to get the sale, make their commission and bollox to the long term consequences.....only in their case it's almost dragging whole economies down.

Shysters.

Quite right. Now Truss is in power there is talk of deregulation and we all know what happened last time. They never learn in their pursuit of wealth. Greedy barstewards.

And the banking industry, whilst clearly necessary to the economy, is an industry that provides no tangible service, other than making more money from the money it has.
