    Cable wants smaller banks, Darling doesn't think it matters. What do you guys all think? It's a tough one

    The tories need a big beast like Kenneth Clark in there. That would be a really good show

    Maybe young Osborne thinks the economy is no laughing matter and hasn't mistaken the show for Sunday Night at the Palladium, like the other two ?

    Haha maybe! We all need a bit of comedic relief though, no? :)

    Can the government apply for voluntary bankruptcy to get us out of the current situation? :D

    Smaller banks for me. We can cope with small banks going under, not big eaters like RBS and HBOS.

    The only important thing for any organisation is that it's competent. Size doesn't matter. There's a joke in there somewhere :o

    Darling seems to playing the 'I've been doing the job' card, so not necessarily answering the questions in the same light the other two are doing.

    Oooo good question there!

    How about bank bonuses for doing a job well? Not celebrated/expected like Christmas presents that arrive whatever you've done.
