In London, Right to Work has called for a protest this Friday at the Royal Bank of Scotland building, 280 Bishopsgate EC2M 4RB from 4pm.
The Right to Work Campaign is calling for a wave of protests against the Tories’ surrender to the bankers and the outrageous awards of huge bonuses to some of Britain ’s richest men.
Paul Brandon Chair of the Right to Work Campaign said “Millions of ordinary people will be outraged by the sight of wealthy bankers getting even richer while the workers who keep our hospitals, councils and schools running are made redundant in droves.
“It comes as no surprise that Cameron and Co have made it clear that they will let the bankers pay themselves unlimited bonuses, despite the trillion pound state bailout of the banks.
“While hundreds of thousands are being thrown onto the dole queues and public services are being slashed the very men who got us into this mess have their snouts back in the trough.”
Bob Diamond’s £8 million bonus at Barclays and Stephen Hester’s £2.5 million at RBS are an insult to every ordinary person in Britain . But we know they are just the tip of the iceberg.
Chris Bambery the National Secretary of Right to Work said: “We can’t sit back and take this latest outrage without a fight. We need to take a lead from the student protests against tuition fees and the end of EMA. We need a wave of protests against the bankers. Right to Work is calling for protests at Barclays and RBS branches across the country”.

The trouble with that viewpoint is that it doesn't put food on the table, a roof over your head, or toys and holidays for the family.
If you do zero work; you will get fuck all money. You are also handing more power to the state because you are know 100% reliant on them. If it wasn't for the state, you would starve or freeze to death.
Alternatively, work and you get cash in the pocket and can enjoy spending on things to make you life better. And, theres also the aspect of ensuring you have money for your retirement.
If you want to live on fuck all and have a state pension i guess thats your loss not mine.
Personally, I think its a completely stupid.
