Weren't all the economic problems caused by greedy banks being too big to fail?
Big thanks to Mr Brown and the other 19 political leaders of the G20 for resolving the problem by making the banks bigger. What could possibly go wrong...?

I watched a program the other day and it related that there was regulations on the larger banks to keep 8% equity (figure plucked out of the head), however there was no regulations of smaller banks, which then resulted in the banks created sub-banks to get round the regulations.
Essentially the smaller banks carried the risks instead of the larger banks:wall:
