Was talking about the time given to undertake something.

If that's your entire comprehension of WW2..............

While the rest of Europes stock markets and banks fall due to a banking and euro crisis (amongst other stuff) here in the UK you have RBS, and Lloyds in the green on the back of this report. That's all I need to know it's a green light for banks to carry on as they were.

There's Basle 3 heading down the tracks towards the banks that's been mentioned on this forum endlessly. Let alone EU capital reserve stress testing.

What's Hester been doing at RBS?

Why's Lloyds contracting its mortgage book?

How much has the UK taxpayer currently lost on supporting RBS and Lloyds? With realisation of the investment moving further and further away.

It's not. But I see we can't go any further with the simple analogy of what can actually be achieved if we actually want it to, within a time frame.

We could train civilians to become fighters witin weeks and have them fighting thousands of miles away within hours, build entire new multi terrain vehicles and ship them around the world and use them within months. Etc etc etc.

But we can't seperate a bank into retail and investment arms?

Far from a simple analogy.

One example.

If the US shipbuilding industry hadn't of invented riveting in 1941. Which resulted in merchant ships being constructed in 6 months. Then the tonnage loss of shipping from U boat attacks would have resulted in the UK being depleted of essential supplies such as oil and food.

You are all overlooking one simple fact ...

The government doesn't tell the banks what to do. The banks tell the government.

Don't forget that politicians are bought and paid for by their masters and they don't care about anything but re-election.

100% guaranteed.

Try and educate. in a few years time this will be headline media news.

As you and I know something is happening everyday in business. Company boards are more dynamic than Governments. As a change in policy can be instantaneous.To say nothing is changing, borders on ignorance or a lack of willing to fully understand.

If the UK hadn't discovered the benefits of RADAR in 1935 we wouldn't hav got that far.

it's unfortunately too common on here.

it's just not what you saying, for example your comment about Hester; people miss the point completely because they're frothing about the size of his bonus payment and that's what has captured their blinkered attention.
