Tomorrow, 10 February is Barclay's Bonus Day. That’s when we find out how much Bob Diamond will be getting.

In 2010, Diamond’s total remuneration was a cool £9,000,000 but other top bankers also hit the jackpot. (see attached note)

Move Your Money suggests people with Barclays Accounts should take this opportunity to do something.

They could close the account. Or write to Bob Diamond. Or, perhaps, do something a bit more inventive.

Move Your Money and its sister organisation in the United States encourage people to bank with their local financial institutions and credit unions.

There has never been a better time to give the big banks a poke in the eye by taking your trade elsewhere.

Meanwhile…I see that Peter Mandelson once cited Bob Diamond as being the “unacceptable face of banking”.

There's an accolade from the man who is –or rather used to be -  “intensely relaxed about people getting filthy rich”.
