£13 million for police officers pay is not a vital emergency measure. Whether or not they are paid this has no relevance to the banking reputation of the country. The financial industry generates income for the country - the police do not. While it is important for any country to have an effective well paid police force, you can't do that without a sound financial situation. A country's financial standing in the world is very very important.
*(The NHS is always in need, schools could do with more money, the army currently seems to be underfunded. Heck even that Christmas club that everyone put money into which went bust - they could surely do with some help. The list goes on and on unfortunately - where do you start and where do you stop?.)

The bank will get it because a lot more than the policemans wages are at stake, including theirs. We think it's wrong to bail out the banks but think of ALL the other peoples wages that are at stake Hundreds of millions. 13 Million to the police isn't much because I think they should be getting more. Banks have no conscience as you can see by the "CORPORATE WELFARE" that goes on. Do you think we would be treated as well? Bankers always remember to pay themselves the high wages first. Many of the workers risk loss of wages and jobs. Pity the others whose wages are backed by the banks assets.

Hazel Blears is a patronizing woman with a face like she is sucking lemons.

Neither. If the police were able to do a good job instead of having ridiculous confines to adhere to, I would choose them, half towards a pay rise and half towards motivation. As it is I would rather it were spent on a tough, feared Borstal-type place to confine the legions of gangs and thugs that terrorise our streets, and make decent people's lives safer.

The whole lot should be shared between the services who desperately need it such as the police, hospitals, education etc.
The bank got itself in trouble so why should the publice be expected to pay for them to be bailed out.
It is probably only putting off the invitable anyway.
Although I feel very sorry for any ordinary investor who have saved their hard earned pennies in a bank or building society which goes bust, whenever we trust our money to someone else, it is a risk we have to take.
If there is not one already in place, there should be a fund set up which all banks and building societies have to contribute to, which will have funds to compensate the ordinary working saver if any bank or building society finds itself in trouble.
Forget about the greedy fat cat investors whose only reason for investing is to make themselves as rich as Midas. They will get it back by increasing what they charge for their goods or services.
Even if they were compensated for their loss, they are likely to use it as an excuse to up their prices.

if the government don't prop up the bank it could cause the whole of the banking sector to go into melt down which would be catastrophic for all of us. if the government don't pay the police the extra then crime will continue to spiral out of control anyway so no difference.

The Police are not worth what we pay them, and the bank should not be supported. If there is £100 billion going spare, this should be rebated to the owners of this money - THE TAXPAYERS

From what I've heard, it's not about the money but the 'backtracking' , 'changes of pledges' and downright deceipt that she has shown throughout i.e. if it doesn't go my way,I'll move the goalposts. And let's not forget that if you award pay rises to public sector workers, you won't be able to afford 28% rises to yourself next year!

And to go right back to start on the education system, thats far more money than education sees. We could make Britain great with all that money.
I don't think we really have any concept how much money this is.
And where did it all come from?
