  It will have no effect on retail banking services whatsoever, Keith.

  What a strange response from Keith, 3500 people, mostly doing ordinary jobs, are made redundant and he mutters about improving the service.
  
  I wonder if he'd say the same if it was 3500 public sector workers

  Most responses from Keith are strange Dave, haven't you noticed ?
  
  The RBS cut in staff numbers will also apply to Natwest, but as Peter said, it is more the investment banking side not branch banking.

  It's mostly to do with the fact that the Government have told RBS to concentrate less on world-wide affairs and more on Britain.
  So the bank will probably be investing more money in the national economy, and about time too.
  
  It is one good example of how an intelligently imposed plan from the State can guide banks onto the right tracks.
  
  Of-course it's inevitable that jobs will go in the RBS investment sector in this transition phase, but how many more jobs will be preserved, and yes, created, in Britain, once the tens of billions of RBS savings are rightly invested here and not abroad?

  most of my observations are just that observations.
  
  like your postings as a right wing conservative i respect your views even though i may not agree with them.
  
  the forum is healthy to have such differing views
