Banks face windfall tax 7:21pm on 06 Dec 2009 It is about as good a solution as you can get to tax bonuses of bankers in banks who received Government bail outs at a punitive rate. This way Alistair Darling can avoid messy interference in setting individual bankers pay, banks who did not receive a bail out can pay their staff as they wish, the taxpayer gets income and importantly some retribution (for retribution is still needed in spades and the financial services community just hasn't understood this). I'd say tax the entire value at 70% of bonuses in scope - all the bonus, whether shares, cash or other.
PleasePet Shop Boys 6:27pm on 12 Jul 2009 Great to see this album recognized, coming recently after the release of 'Yes', which marks a continuation of the Pets' fantastic career.

'Actually' may have been more polished, but 'Please' always contained fantastic pop songs that are still listenable: 'Love Comes Quickly' = one of the best love songs ever released!
