This is complete and utter blackmail. If the bonus-making and taking bankers were so good at their jobs in the first place then why are we bailing them out to the tune of £850 billion? As far as I'm concerned less 'brilliant' and 'bonus-worthy' bankers who were paid less (or no) bonuses may well have got us into less (or possibly no) debt. £850 billion is apparently more than the combined cost (or is it value - I can't be bothered to find out as clearly it doesn't matter even to those who control these things) of the UK armed forces and NHS. Massive volumes of piss have and are being taken here.

I know an 'investment' banker who was made redundant last year during the 'credit crunch' - aged 42 with 4 kids in private education (none older than 12), having just renovated a mansion in one of the most expensive parts of the UK, he never has to work again - where is the societal, moral, monetary, whatever-you-want-to-think-of, fill-in-the-gap-here, justice in that situation?

Thus speaketh the liberal contemplating anarchy.

Well Bill, I guess they all come from the same mould down south.

Z4 how disappointing, you come up with an interesting topic and allow haters to turn it upside down and you are cool with that. Sado x2

Nothing different between what is happening in the North and the Bankers in the UK I'm affraid, inoccent people being robbed blind!

Both scummers. People should be given back their belongings. I work bloody hard here and when I see my tax bill knowing where my money goes it chuffing annoys me

Z4 what about the people robbed in the south between the bankers and developers, where's your 2 cents on that?

They are scummers too, just like the folk in the North

Good to hear one GC claim that they are not perfect (as none of us are).

Seriously though, the bankers should be taken to task. There is neither proof nor justification for their actions. Banks demand penalties and interest at a sizeable spread if you need something from them i.e. forced to use one of their services. And if you are a business plenty of conditions to the loans to ensure sound and prudent business practices are followed, shame UK govt. does not do the same and see how they like a taste of the dish they serve.
