The Rock WAS victimised

Other banks needed just as much money and will need more in due course. It's a real scandal the way that Rock shareholders have been robbed and yet HBOS, LLoyds can trade on. Roll on the 12th of January and the Judicial review.

I thought you meant the wrestler turned film-actor! Being victimised by Gian Haystacks or The Undertaker perhaps!

Oh how I laughed when I realised my mistake.

FFS, the rock was the #1 bank of selling 125% liar loans to people working at Tescos on 12k a year and who couldn't pay the money back.

With a business plan like that and run by imbeciles, it was going to fail sooner or later.

125% mortgages was a good sign to sell the shares.

Not true. Many other banks were also offering 125% loans. Plus, the loans were not the issue, which was in fact LIQUIDITY, and the run caused by leaks by HMG and Robert Peston, which removed approx. 14 Billion pounds of that liquidity.

The Rock's quite a big fella to get victimised

By the way, I read today that Robert Preston's father was a former advisor to the Labour Party. Funny how the police arrested a Tory MP regarding minor leaks on Labour policy, and yet have not laid one finger on Robert Peston !!! After all, Peston's leaks have been a constant thorn in the stock market and shareholders sides and have always appeared to favour New Lie.

I trust in due course investigations will be made on 'insider trading', Peston, the Treasury and the BBC's obvious bias towards New Lie throughout the banking crisis. ... and pigs may fly !!
