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.

More on why 20's plenty -- without need for any further 'trials'...

There are a number of reasons for setting a default speed of 20mph throughout the 'unclassified' road network in residential parts of a city such as Norwich. Most important perhaps is that of driver recognition as to what the speed limit is. If you have 20 mph as the default then you not only establish this limit clearly, but you also adjust the driver's recognition as to what is the "normal" speed in such residential areas. The most important aspect is that drivers set 20 mph as the norm with those 30 mph areas or roads being seen as 50% faster, rather than seeing 30 mph as the norm with 20 mph as 33% slower. The psychological adjustment of normal speeds in residential areas is key to the success of reducing speeds and therefore danger to pedestrians and cyclists. Therefore any trial, pilot or whatever, that only implements 20 mph in a tiny proportion of the city is not modelling 20's Plenty in any realistic manner.   When considering the val...
