AlanHo Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 This is well worth signing up for and it won't take a minute. Please send it to everyone.http://robinhoodtax.org/I really don't want to be a killjoy - but do you honestly believe that senior bankers really give a fig about poverty in the World. This is a laudable idea - and I hope it works - but I have grave doubts. The only way of nailing these greedy bastards is legislation - but the government will not do it because it will impact tax revenue when the banks then move from London to a more friendly country (like Cadbury's have just done) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanHo Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I tried earlier to check it out - you are right it takes you to Facebook. If you are a member of facebook (I am, but no longer use it) - it opens the voting page.Hence you need to join Facebook and log-in there before you can vote.

AlanHo Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Gandalph - you are quite right.This arrived within seconds of me votingTHE SENIOR BANKERS ADOPTION PROGRAM NEEDS YOU!The UK banking Industry is now having to import increasing numbers of cheap foreign bankers because British bankers are finding it difficult to manage on the level of wages paid to senior staff - now is the time for us to show the Country how much we care. It's just not right. Hundreds of English bankers in our very own country are living at or just below the seven-figure salary level ! This is an atrocious situation.BUT NOW YOU CAN HELP!For about two thousand pounds a day – which is less than the cost of a large screen projection TV, VCR plus home cinema or small second-hand car - you can help a banker remain economically viable during his time of need.Two thousand pounds a day may not seem like a lot of money to you, but to a banker it could mean the difference between a vacation spent golfing in Florida or a Mediterranean cruise. For you, two thousand pounds is nothing more than a few months rent or mortgage payments. But to a banker, two thousand pounds a day will almost replace his salary.Your commitment of two thousand pounds a day will enable a banker to buy that home entertainment centre, trade in the year-old Porsche for a new Ferrari, pay for an annual subscription to a pole dancing club, enjoy a weekend in Rio, get extra cocainel and have enough change for a booze and drugs binge or have an affair with a fellow banker’s wife."HOW WILL I KNOW I'M HELPING?"Each month, you will receive a complete financial report on the banker you sponsor. Detailed information about his stocks, bonds, real estate, and other investment holdings will be mailed to your home. You'll also get information on how he plans to invest the tax free lump sums he will receive from his annual bonus and other activities upon retirement. Plus, upon signing up for this program, you will receive a photo of the banker (unsigned). Put the photo on your refrigerator to remind you of other peoples' suffering."HOW WILL HE KNOW I'M HELPING"Your banker will be told that he has a SPECIAL FRIEND who just wants to help in a time of need. Although the banker won't know your name, he will be able to make collect calls to your home via a special operator just in case additional funds are needed for unexpected expenses.Simply fill out the form below.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------___YES, I want to help!I would like to sponsor a senior banker player.

Gandalph Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Well I don't suppose the begging letters and the bombardment of e-mails will be asking for that amount, it will probabely be open to the individual as to how much they offer. All in all it reads near enough though Alan. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanHo Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I did not have to register with face book, and have not received any other e mails.I don't know how you managed to vote from the link you provided. When I click on "Vote Now" it opens a Facebook Page I also agree with Gandalph - the more sites you link to - the more you are being left open to spam (or worse).
