    What a major eye opener!

    The banks have well and truly been betting our money, maybe they should sign up to Gamblers Anonymous instead of being rewarded with bonuses.

    Its disgusting.

    They should not be allowed to get away with it, and a better regulation process is definitely needed.

    I am so horrified.
    I always wanted to be a procrastinator, never got round to it...
