What a shocking statement if it is true and it just goes to show what an appalling person Ed Balls is.Graham_Devon wrote: »At least it's easy to figure out whether he's lying. He'll be grinning like a cheshire cat through every sentence. He does it on every interview.
He's got two faces, serious when telling the truth, grinning like a buffoon when telling a lie.
So....did Mr. Balls even get a mention during Bob Diamond's questioning....?0 -

This is a bloke who is obviously so intelligent, he can easily pretend he hasn't a clue and pull it off with style.
He didn't come across as massively intelligent, shrewd and foxy maybe. I actually thought he stumbled round much of his "evidence" and seemed to repeat the same apologies rather than clinically prove a point."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

Media has attempted to blow it out of proportion.
14 staff out of a global workforce of a 140,000.

Listening today made it all seem so old news.
Perhaps there was a reason to let the matter slip past, for so long, to allow things to settle."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....
