More On Banker's Bonuses

There are now 12,500 signatures on the Give Up The Bonus petition (to stop RBS handing out the bonuses) and more than 6,200 people are now on the Facebook group, No Ifs, No Buts.

But there's still work to do and your help is needed.

Tomorrow afternoon, the Group Chief Executive of RBS, Stephen Hester - a man who has the power to stop the bonuses - goes in front of the Treasury Select Committee at the House of Commons.

No doubt he will probably say sorry like his former colleagues did yesterday.

Sorry is a start - but not the end of the matter.

It's claimed Stephen hasn't made his mind up on the issue. So let's see if we can help make his mind up for him.

Here are a list of things that you can do to keep the pressure up.

1. If you're on Facebook, change your Facebook status to ask people to sign www.giveupthebonus.co.uk.

2. Email and Facebook your friends about the campaign, get them to join us and sign the petition

3. Send on this viral to your friends to show your support - http://tinyurl.com/dlclxh

4. Send an email to your local paper or call in to radio phone-ins.

Let's send Stephen Hester a loud and clear message that we won't stand for this.
