I think it is now clear what every saver in Europe must do now - TAKE ALL MONEY

out from the banks

unless you want it stolen by corrupt unelected scum to save the decrepit unworkable EU.

Bank runs all round me thinks.

In fact, I think I may move my "savings" into my offset mortgage - where it will be safe from these thieves.

    Why do you think your savings will be safe in your offset mortgage savings pot?

    A few days of coordinated action might make them think a little more.

    I am sure just a lot more people withdrawing the maximum allowed out of cash machines, across the country, might give them something to worry about.

    Pay it back in the next day, repeat etc.

    I wonder if NS&I savings would be open to a haircut too? Perhaps anew bond could be put on issue with a 0% rate , but haircut free (maybe) as it's USP?

    Let the banks fail. The bailouts can come after failure, not before.
