Singer refuses to pay taxes unless bankers' bonuses are curbed...

Billy Bragg is urging the public to join him in refusing to pay their taxes unless ministers curb 'excessive' bonuses at Royal Bank of Scotland.

The singer and Left-wing activist has set up a campaign called NoBonus4RBS on the Facebook website to 'convince the Treasury to act'. The group, which had attracted 2,000 members last night, also calls on supporters to write to Alistair Darling expressing their anger.

RBS, which is 84 per cent owned by the taxpayer following a string of bailouts, is expected to pay up to £1.5billion in bonuses to its investment bankers. More...

Don't miss:

  1. US banks to pay out record bonuses...
  2. Goldman Sachs to pay huge bonuses...
  3. A nation of cowards, America?
  4. I'm mad as hell, I'm not going to take this anymore...
  5. The world is angry, yes, but what are we going to to about it?
