David Cameron: 'It would be too costly to replace RBS board'

With the row over RBS chief executive Stephen Hester's bonus continuing, the
Prime Minister warns that the near £1 million award is less than the cost of
tearing up his contract.

"forego a bonus which was part of the

contractual package which he agreed when

he took the CEO role and Royal Bank was

already government controlled. No one with

any ability and in their right mind would now

take on such a job in the future and we need

them to."

Oh dear god, cameron is now cutting benefits from limb less children with cancer. When will this lunatic be stopped? I know let's all give the bankers a million pound bonus with the savings.

@darkkitsune That's right cameron is a douche but he's our douche and we will douche him without intervention from some yank. I mean come on you lot had president bush, I'm not talking about the first one, I'm talking about the second one, the little short comedy man who gave the world the greatest laughs of our modern times. What a fucking disgrace for a president there has ever been.

Cameron the posh cunt for the posh cunts. He could have done something about this like labour suggested and once again he opted to save his posh chums,see you later cameron your on your way out.

Stephen Hester's payments would amount to no more than a rounding error at the bank, and credit card fraud alone, costs RBS hugely more. In addition, Stephen Hester and the board can walk away, for better terms and conditions across the street. And if across the street senses that it will be under government pressure, it, too, can walk away: Frankfurt, Dubai... Finally, no one is stopping Red Ed or Vince the Vicious et al, from taking Stephen Hester's job, for less pay.
