Jobs fear as Southampton RBS office is placed "under review"
4:05pm Friday 3rd September 2010 in
HUNDREDS of Hampshire staff of tax-payer funded Royal Bank of Scotland are today fearing for their jobs after the Southampton site’s future was put under review.
The blow to the Brunswick Gate base, where 250 people are employed, was tucked away in an announcement that RBS is axing another 3,500 jobs and closing 12 of its business services centres across the UK.
Trade union Unite described the announcement as a “horror story”.

my bank is rbs, just had a letter to say my new bank will be santander as rbs was forced to sell off 300 odd branches by the 4th reich (oops i mean't the eu), probably be a whole lot more job cuts as most rbs sites have a santander nearby.

Is ironic that one bank is forced to sell, which allows another to grow even bigger, possibly bigger than the one that sold.

what is said about the usa is that it is the 4th reich or the continuation of the 3rd reich.
because of a cartel of usa companies that had german scientist, technicians and engineers, and had there records altered to lie to the usa public that those people had nothing to do with the german war machine, then there is the bush family who supplied the germany with finances, and fairbanks supplying with a chemical additive for there air fuel for planes.

Just a very well run and principled bank with a strong ethical policy that meant it avoided all the speculation and derivative dealings that has brought down the rest.
Why is that "ironic"?
