Hester: Keep It Lad

So Stephen Hester, the Royal Bank of Scotland boss, has caved in to childish demands to give up his £1m bonus. What a berk is all I can say. Dai Jakes would never have given in. Not a bacon buttie's chance in the kitchen. If such a large bonus was in his contract then he should have it, and not be bullied into giving it up by a jealous public.
I have a suspicion that if Mr Hester was related to you, you wouldn't be so angry, and your 'concern' over job losses at places like Peacocks woud dwindle to nothingness.
I mean where the heck is the outrage over footballers wages? They earn over £100,000 a week, yet nobody seems to mind this obscenity. (And it IS obscene and if you don't like it, you are obscene too).
By all accounts Hester is good at his job. We ought to be ashamed of ourselves for forcing him to give his agreed bonus back. He has done his job, nothing more and now has to throw away the money he is perfectly entitled to because the great unwashed don't like it.
Shame on them.
And as a footnote, he was taken on my RBS after the banking crisis not before it. His job was to turn everything around and apparantly making a good fist of it.
