campaigning by withold taxes is a little unlikely.... but here is a campaign that could really make a difference. Banking on Change asks RBS, Barclays and Lloyds to offer its account holders an ethical account, or we'll all move banks.... to someone a bit more decent

search facebook for "banking on change"

@oxyharmonic ... If you're really concerned with ethical banking then you'd have moved your account from those kind of banks already. It would be a better incentive to say you'll return to their bank if/ when they introduce an ethical alternative.

What's the bonus tally in 2011? About three times higher isn't it?

Hester should be drowned in a sack.

Well done its time someone spoke out about these greedy worthless bankers. In what other line of business do you screw things up so much that the government has to put billions in to save the industry and you get million pound bonuses. Brown's 50% tax is a poor excuse for a real policy, why should they get anything? Many of these bankers should be locked up for fraud not getting obscene amounts of money.
