Banker bonus cap.

I'm disappointed.

I thought this was going to be a thread about headgear worn by those working in the banking sector who had received a financial reward from their employer.

Eh what, put your glasses on?

Sorry ellal but debate seems pointless with you as you simply skip over entire parts of posts to nit pick the one point
you can argue with (and still argue badly).

You are so f*cking funny...

You come out with a load of b*llshit, and then whinge on when it is pointed out that you are in fact wearing the emperors new clothes...

I don't think you are a troll, just not very bright and able to argue.

Brighter than you though, and as you say not a troll...

Unlike you...

You are banging on about "buying out the banks", which whilst was arguably a bad thing to do, is such a small proportion of our debt, it can in that regards be relegated, our national debts are +90% government overspending.

Government debt is an issue, but it is still 70% of GDP, so it does not by any stretch make us poor, the best you can do to argue it does is that it "might" in the future, yea OK.

'Bailing out' the banks actually, and that alone cost almost £1trillion...

But you carry on thinking about that 70% figure and believing that that the bulk of our debt isn't really 'debt' if it helps you and your dellusions...

And when our Fiat based system collapses, it'll happen so quickly you won't even have time to turn around and mumble 'how the f*ck did that happen'?

As to the rest, well, refute and debate my previous points

Already refuted, and probably no more need to say what part of the anatomy you are - because you're doing just fine by yourself!

Having been caught out you dismiss some types of debt as not debt at all icon_rolleyes.gif

Where did I say that ellal?

Who took your clothes?

'Bailing out' the banks actually, and that alone cost almost £1trillion...

• Since 2007 the UK has committed to spending £1.162 trillion at various points on bailing out the banks. This figure has however fluctuated wildly during the period and by March 2011 it was £456.33bn. That total outstanding support was equivalent to 31% of GDP in March.

• The £456.33bn figure breaks down into £123.93bn in loan or share purchases, which required a cash injection from the government to the banks, and £332.4bn in guarantees and indemnities which haven't actually been paid, but were offered to shore up the failing bank system.

• Of the £123.93bn, the Royal Bank of Scotland received £45.80bn, Lloyds £20.54bn, Northern Rock a total of £22.99bn, Bradford and Bingley £8.55bn and a further £26.05bn went on "loans to support deposit".

Oh, here is another link for you http://www.debtbombshell.com/

Notice where it says "UK National Debt excluding bank bailouts".

But you carry on thinking about that 70% figure

Would you care to show a source for your 4x figure, oh dear, please don't tell me you have been stupid enough to include private debt that is tied to assets?

You have haven't you, numpty.

Already refuted

Really?

When I pointed out Iceland democratically elected to not pay private bank debt, rather than public debt, your answer was.........

When I pointed out the debt you wanted us to default on was tied to pensions and owned by the bank of England, your answer was........

When you quoted eu ministers, those guys in the euro mess as being on your side, your answer to this was...........
