The Royal Bank of Scotland's incompetent bosses are once again determined to pay themselves astronomical bonuses from our taxes. But we can stop these fat cats swallowing more cream.
Despite losing the bank £750 million in the last six months, RBS executive are spending a fortune lobbying the Government and now want to get another £500 million in bonuses. Its a scandal at a time when the cuts are biting all of us. But George Osborne heads up the body that will negotiate the deal. If we raise a massive public stink, the Chancellor could be shamed into rejecting RBS's outrageous claim.
We do not have long to stop this offensive corporate greed. Let's flood the Chancellor's inbox with 100,000 messages from across the country to force a drastic cap on RBS bonuses and ban the use of our money to lobby Government. Click here to stop the great fat-cat rip-off, and then share this with everyone.

RBS's crash in 2008 shook the global economy, and the British taxpayer had to step in with £45 billion to buy most of the bank. Since then the RBS's management have sold off the best bits of the bank, sacked around 20,000 people, and refused to boost lending to embattled businesses. The share price has plummeted, and British tax payers are currently £23 billion out of pocket.
Shockingly RBS's arrogant executives still want to award themselves "performance" bonuses. It's incredible, but the chief executive wants a repeat of the £6.8 Million that he took in 2011, and the head of the investment banking division wants to cash in share options for over £5 million.
