Obviously they are rewarding themselves as the things are all going to plan for them.

The payout, which comes as many of the bank's customers are having to endure pay freezes, is set to reignite public anger over excessive City bonuses.
It follows yesterday's £3billion sale of the bank's prized iShares asset management division to U.S. private equity giant CVC.
Around 200 other Barclays staff own share options in iShares, which will now convert into cash.
They will share an estimated average of £450,000 each

Its amazing they have the neck for this.
Are they so removed form the real world that they seriously do not consider the outfall or morality of such wild selfserving payouts?
Amazing, I say fill thier pocket with gold, give them all as much as they can carry, then push them off a bridge.

Why do they continually mis-spell Bankers using a B instead of a W?

I can only imagine that the G20 protests were a bit of a let down to tptb, and this is a further attempt to really upset people, ready for their much relished 'summer of rage' prediction.

ok,
1. this is from the daily mail - scare mongering hateful nazi's. give a few facts then OUTRAGE!!
2. barclays sold it's ishares to a private firm and the people who have those shares have had money from that- what's the big deal?
i'm in no way supporting the banks or anything, but fail to see what outrage there is. the money hasn't come from taxpayers or government funds. if i had shares and they were sold, i'd expect to get the money owed to me.
You watch, somebody is gonna get pissed at these bankers and they're gonna start killing them.Its just a matter of time. I expect to see bankers swinging from trees soon.

As much as we would probably all love to see that happen it never will. These bankers alwasy seem to remain nameless and faceless, operating from the shadows and living in castles protected like mafia king pins.

They were in the US in the 19th century, people didn't just allow themselves to be walked all over and accept that they have been miss-sold products that led to them losing their homes. Think about it, the moment someone can't afford to pay a loan, the bank doesn't come to an agreement, they put charges and fees on, so not only can you not afford the payments but you then can't afford the fees. it seems they are deliberately making it as difficult for people to pay their debts as they can, they are destroying the economy, leading to people losing their jobs, homes, even schoolchildren are being denied free fruit because of the behaviour of the financial institutions.
Like I said, its all just a matter of time.I guess we'll see more shootings soon.

Technically that is true, but if it hadn't been for the G20's program of Bailouts for Bigshots their share prices would be in the tank if they were still worth anything it all. It is massive amounts of taxpayer funds that have propped these bozos up, and now they're reaping the rewards sown on taxpayers' backs.

Bingo.
I wonder how long is the dumb public going to rely on mass news media and political bullshit.

...tick tick - don't hold your breath - most are comatose. I've spoken to many people and the common denominator is zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I just spoke to 2 people ,they do not believe that this will happen.They think the worst is over and that we will not go under financially.One is a famous cardiologist and he told me I was crazy
the other says he has 40% of his investments in China he does not think that they will want to lose their money
I say its bullshit because something is not right. Do you mean to tell me that everybody is crazy?

Nothing I read about these W@nkers surprises me in the least.
Probably some poor schmuck will buy into this believing the greenshoots are visible, others will follow and even more people will go down when the final crash hits. I believe someone has said on another thread that September is the month of the world crash ? maybe
