Leave RBS alone, already.

So your message to the 200-odd RBS IT staff that have just been told they are "no longer required" is don't bother joining this silly protest and instead "give the poor bank a break already"?

Ah, if they were RBS 'Votes for Jobs' the little protest might have had more credibility.

Why protest the horses after the barn door has long been left open? There must be better places to hold a placard and yell into a bull horn.

(I had a photo, but couldn't figure out how to upload it - I only work here.)

Sorry Liz, can't help feeling your sympathies are with the wrong people. So, some protestors wanting to make a point about jobs decide to do it outside RBS - how mean!

Told you I was going out on a limb. It's less about 'sympathy for RBS as a bank' - although I do have sympathy for the legions of people who work for regular salaries in any bank in the City being painted with the same brush as the 'Freds' of this industry.

I guess, I dispair at the fruitlessness of the protest, and the lack of creativity.

Creative? Maybe not, but the fact is the City played a major part in a recession that has cost a lot of people their jobs. Fred the Shred may no longer be in the building but the repercussions of his actions, and the actions of others, are still very real to some - so if they want to protest, fruitlessly or not, it's their choice.

"...at least find Goldman Sachs' address, they are in the phone book."

But Goldman's nice...it just cut its bonus pool to a mere $16 billion and decided to give some money to charity.

OK fine, you win. I will find my wall now to stand up against come the revolution.
