Charlie Mullins: Can we have our billion pounds back please RBS
There you go, what great news for a Friday morning! The people's bank, RBS, the one which is 84% publicly owned, has just posted a half year profit of £1.1billion - that's almost a billion quid we can cut off the deficit!
What do you mean that's not how it works?
Maybe the entire country should stop paying their credit cards from next month, maybe then these guys might get the message about servicing debt.
To be honest it'd be a good start if they at least appeared a little grateful, but actually they seem to have a lot more in common with the feckless unemployed, with their attitude that somehow we owe them a living.
Still pictures on Sky show that they Champagne sales are going to be ok again!
