Hearing this you might be forgiven for thinking that perhaps
banks are more powerful than the government
...seeing as they don't do what they're told and,
it seems almost deliberate sometimes doesn't it? but it's real hard to be sure...Order of events: Banks lose our money -> get bailed out -> were inflating GBP to cover it -> now taxing us -> next will grab your funds direct -> things get really desperate to balance the books. What should have happened?: banks go bust and we lost our money much quicker0 -

Not sure how all that got through audit. I believe £40M owed to 1000 creditors.
then again I might pay £100 for it, not sure that would be much comfort to the poor creditors though

RBS (84% owned by us taxpayers) takes a hit of £10,992,000, for failing to do any due dilligence before lending huge amounts of money against a worthless trinket. Well done them. :Tpoppy100
