**** them in the arse with a pointy stick that has been bashed on the ground and then dipped in some dog poo so it's a mass of splinters with germs. That'll teach em.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.' -

"Furthermore, Mr Osborne’s speech needs to mark an end to the era of banker-bashing. They made mistakes – but they have been required to wear sackcloth and ashes for long enough."
Oh PLEASE!! It must be so hard for the bankers. Sack-cloth and ashes is all they can afford out of their tiny little multi-million-pound bonuses from tax-payer's money. I feel so sorry for them. It must be a terrible punishment to be forced, no, not even forced but simply allowed to carry on as they were, as if there had never been a financial crisis, whilst people in other industries lose what little income they had as they are made redundant due to the spending cuts that are necessary to pay for the failure of bankers. There are some interesting posts in the comments section below that piece. I hope that whoever wrote the piece bothers to read them.
I always thought The Telegraph was a high-brow paper. They seemed to be always banging on about school-fees. What normal person could afford to send their kids to a private school? The fees for even one child would cost most of my net pay. These toffs need to take their blinkers off and take a look at the real world.

seriously the bankers were warned by a number of people before the crash happened - rather than act on it the continued as normal to satisfy stakeholder greed.
And now they want to continue as normal - no the pointless feckers who allowed this to happen because they were spineless yes men need to be strung up by the balls.
Not bashing bankers just think those responsible for it should still be paying like us tax payers...Comment

Not bashing bankers just think those responsible for it should still be paying like us tax payers...Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

And I'm saying that as a layman, not a property expert or banking expert.
So if it's so damn obvious, then why was neither disaster prevented?
... My guess is that powerful vested interests got in the way and influenced the decision makers to either scrap or at least water-down the necessary action. We've already seen how, not content with pocketing huge salaries and bonuses whilst bringing the UK economy to its knees, the bankers have then held the country to ransom by threatening to leave the UK if their cosy little apple-cart is upset. We should call their bluff and let them leave. Then let some other mug country bail them out next time they run their firms into the ground by gambling with other peoples' money.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment
