Has Beckham`s generosity encouraged Antony Jenkins CEO Barclays Bank to waive his £ One Million bonus....
....or should we remind him of his Banks Libor rate fixing activities ?

"We all have a public duty to keep the greedy grasping hands of government off our assets as much as the law allows. It is not only the wealthy who have options here."
Can someone explain to me how this is a public duty?
I really don't think discontent is about parochial tax arrangements but more about large corporations taking money from our country yet not paying their way.

Not a public duty but a duty to our families, therefore a duty which most would consider higher than a public duty. The less wealthy we are, the more that applies.

I disagree Keith.
I have no problem with people earning huge amounts of money. My issue is people taking money out but not paying in...now that's a public duty.

# 2252.....agree there are too many fat cats dodging paying their public duty.
Cameron is full of promises and headlines in Davos that he will hunt down the finance johnnies.
If.for once, he keeps his promise many of them will be put out of business.the small ones as well as the big ones.....
