24 Hrs To Tame The UK Bankers!! Bump, Sign & Spread UK Austeritytards!

24 hours to tame the banks

TO GEORGE OSBORNE AND ALL EU FINANCE MINISTERS:

As concerned citizens we call on you to cap bankers’ bonuses across the EU to no more than the amount of their fixed salary, unless agreed by a super-majority of shareholders. This is a crucial part of preventing bankers taking excessive risks which can destabilise their institutions and our entire economies. We count on you to take this step to tame the banking giants.

---------------------------------------

Mr Diamond keeps his bonuses and other payments from previous years which are said to amount to £120 million since 2005.

Marcus Agius, the executive chairman of Barclays, said Mr Diamond had “voluntarily” forgone up to £20 million of entitlements.

Not surprising. We should repudiate the whole rotten racket, take them over, and end put an end to the globalist debt-enslavers, completely.

That's fantastic, it's not really the number of signatures needed it's the speed at which they be be got!

If some dumb '1,000,000 likes on facebook in 24 hours and she'll sleep with me' works... ;)

This could be a dummy run!

Fucking right. 5* sug pin.

The argument against capping the bonuses is that without bonuses bankers, being the intellectual heavyweights they are, will just go else where. Where the fuck else can you just elect to give yourself a million pound tax free bonus? Nowhere. So the only argument against capping pay is pish. Signed and spread, TY buggedout.

probably not, but this is about getting as many as possible in 24 hours. If we break 1 million they won't be able to ignore it. Please, members from the Europe, get behind this.

Nice one AC. @ 31k now. The site aims for 50k. We know that won't be enough. We should be aiming for one million. This needs to go viral. I'm sending the link to people IRL.

Not just to prevent them from taking excessive risks. Just because the f#$%ers work with other people's money doesn't mean that they can slurp it up in whatever quantities they see fit. They should NOT be allowed to put their greedy claws into the cookie jar just because they have this access to it.

Time in the UK: 7.30pm 50,000 signatures in about 10? hours... ( I was #3000 ish 9 hours ago)

The banks crashed our economies, causing a wave of unemployment, evictions and cuts, but bankers are still raking in massive pay cheques. We have a chance to end this madness in 24 hours, but the British government stands in our way.

Bankers run outrageous risks, driven by the lure of big bonuses. EU plans to stop bankers getting bonuses higher than their salaries are now being ambushed by George Osborne. Public pressure now can push our finance ministers to take a stand against the bankers’ greed that caused the crash in the first place!

Whilst i think controlling the banksters is a noble effort its already too late.. petitions and protests aint going to do shit... the only action you can take is hedging your wealth..

Buy something, anything, precious metals, land, property, food, water, the means to produce food and clean water.

The system is already fucked and all action currently being taken by the world banks and the system is designed to keep it stable and keep the game going as long as possible. All this action isn't designed to fix the system as it was broken from inception.

No amount of cutting banker bonuses or anything will effect change until people are starving and bleeding in the streets and a shift in the consciousness of people result in them realizing the entire system is fucking wrong.

The entire paradigm and system needs to change, we need to go back to a backed standard, probably gold and silver.

This year may be the last chance you have to hedge what you own, because when this comes 99% of westerners are going to be as poor as indians and africans overnight.

The governments of the west will probably blame china and iran and start a war to keep the anger from being directed at those at the top of the power pyramid.

START FUCKING FACING UPTO FACTS, WE LIVED TOO LONG AND TOO FAST ON A SYSTEM OF DEBT BORROWED FROM OUR CHILDREN. THIS IS NOT SUSTAINABLE, THE CRASH IS COMING IN OUR LIFETIMES, ITS JUST UPTO US IF WE PREPARE OR NOT.
