Haiti gets £6million aid while the fat banker defends his £8million bonus

wonderful times

plenty of bankers might be giving a fair chunk of their bonus to the crisis fund.

That said, money is not much use in this situation. They need people, doctors, supplies, food, water, tents etc. Throwing money at it isn't much use in the short term.

For some reason though this hasn't quite grabbed me in the same way as the boxing day tsunami did. :(

the boxing day tsunami aid allowed the sri lankan government to pummel the sh1t out of the tamils. I agree, money is not the answer.

rustyboy thats prob due to the way the media have underplayed it for some reason.

It would be a nice jester if the bankers gave 1/2 their bonuses to Haiti, they would gain some credibility.

with a 50% tax on bankers bonuses, in a way they are contributing to the haiti relief fund. Although I bet they'd prefer not to be :)

just give it to the fund and tell the bankers that 1/2 the bonus has gone.
i know bankers and they are greedy and will probably keep it all.......i kid you not.

Lol! It's not on the internet so it can't be true?? I have faith that we're all human beings and as such will do whatever we can to assist others. For most of us (me inc.) this means nothing. There is nothing i can do that will directly help those in need right now but if some bankers can afford to send aid etc then i'm sure some will.

I hope other countries are doing their bit, such as the Saudis, Kuwaitis etc.

Did you get your Addidas Jeruselms yet Rusty?

Admirable but in my view and i'm not alone in this,bankers are as far removed from human beings as you can possibly get.

bankers won't give a toss

if we were under the tory government, he'd be defending his £20 million bonus, not his £8 million bonus
