The system was nearly brought to its knees. Apparently we were hours away from the banks melting down. According to the politicians we simply had to bail them out to the tune of countless billions. How do you know that nobody did anything criminal? That would be the whole point of investigating the matter to see if anything illegal happened or simply whether some of your lot are just a bunch of chancers and incompetent morons.

They lost their own money like most people on here. It's not criminal, but relying on punters should be.

I asked you how you know nobody did anything criminal? It seems perfectly feasible. Criminal actions happened in America. Maybe they did here. We don't know because as I pointed out there haven't been any investigations. Nor has there been an official inquiry. These days a mouse gets a boil on its bellend and there is a 50/50 chance of an official enquiry. We are on the hook for untold billions and silence.
Something stinks and I aint talking about the contents of clay's trousers. |

The money lost by the bankers was not "their own".
For the most part it was money invested on behalf of clients (or as they are known sometimes in the City "plebs") There will be no proper investigation EO; the results of an independent examination would destroy the image that the UK is a well regulated place to invest money where it will be handled dilgently and responsibly. No government wants that. Of course some mud would stick to Blair and Brown, but the fallout on the economy would be too great. Swept under the carpet except for an inane gesture: remove Fred's knighthood. Then go back to investigating phone tapping of Grant, Osborne, Partridge etc., and use the CPS for big cases like an Asian family overclaiming £1800 of Housing Benefit. |
