Whos Bringing Their Money Back Home?

As Samuel L Jackson says to John Travolta in Pulp Fiction "Just stay cool Vincent!" and that's exactly what I'm going to do with KE/ING. My Stoozing cash is earning a nice rate in KE right now and until ING pull the plug on that rate, then that's where it's going to stay. When it does finally drop though, I'll probably bring it home to a British bank.0

If another foreign based bank goes pear-shaped, and the money falls into deep, dark chasm called "rip off the UK" again, then I wonder if there will still be people coming on forums like this crying and whingeing about it. If so I would hope that they get precious little sympathy.No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well.
The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.

We have around £9 left in ING after moving funds to Icesave, so I'll leave it there just for the convenience of having an open account if we want to do juggling of funds at some future date. When we get our Icesave deposits back we'll probably opt for a fixed term bond with one of the building societies. (preferably one which isn't over-leveraged in Buy-to-Let mortgages which I still foresee as being an issue in the future). But the dilemma will be: which one?0

I took most of my KE money out before the account was transferred to ING. I will be taking the remainder out of ING soon. No passport scheme for me!0
