So does everyother organisation, however other businesses do not get billion pound handouts from the government do they?

No doubt the managers at these banks are the ones most likely to complaint about people living on 'handouts', obviously in this case they are not handouts at all, no more
a handout than when you make a claim on your house or car insurance because those
people are in an insuurance scheme where they pay money in when they can afford to.
The banks however pay nothing in that other organisations don't pay as well but they get these free huge handouts. Note I did not quote handouts there because the word is correct there, they are handouts in the true sensee, not in the twisted sense some people use to abuse people who don't have enough money to live on.
