Harriet Harman has attacked the RBS board in Parliament today for having 'no recognition of the public fury over bonuses'.
I'm sorry Harriet but politicians are mistaken if they think that they simply need to express their outrage over the action of bankers, whilst doing nothing about it.
All the parties are treading water on this issue until after the election as the truth is none of them truly want to alienate the city and both Labour and the Tories are aware that it would be stupid to handicap RBS in the face of aggressive market moves by Lloyds.
Admit this, tell us your policy for dealing with it and you can start winning our respect; but until then politicians should not patronise voters.
