    I'm not in the least surprised that, once the public's eyes are taken off the crisis the bankers brought about, these latter are now starting to line their own pockets again. They do that because they CAN.

    Go to the rest of Europe and see how the banks are far better regulated, in that they are not legally allowed to take the enormous risks that their US and UK counterpart are taking every day, supported by spinless governments in thrall of big business and too scared to tell the banks that the money they are gambling is not theirs, and then put some regulations and safeguards in place.

    Meanwhile, thousands of old people in this country as usual will have to chose between eating or keeping warm this winter because there isn't enough money in the pension pot to provide them with a decent living, while a few penpushers in the city will have the headache of deciding which exotic resort to fly to at Christmas.

    Time for the silent majority to start shouting and tell their MP to put the UK's financial house in order, and stop this empty promises scam.


    There are many European Bank's in a whole heap of trouble. Particularly the German LandesBanks.
