Tony Robinson calls out British banking system. Must Watch. "Not Even Human"

This, perhaps, shows that even the bank of England may very well be involved in all of this too..
Am not surprised...

The Bank of England (BoE) had almost daily contact with Barclays over inter-bank lending at the end of October 2008, newly released emails show.

This bit makes it look as though they are trying to make it look like a simple misunderstanding...

Mr Diamond's notes of a telephone conversation he had with Mr Tucker led Mr del Missier to think the Bank of England had sanctioned it submitting lower borrowing rates, Barclays said.

It has come to something when Baldrick from Black Adder has a better cunning plan than the politicians, even if it does include turnips.

Ex-Barclays boss Bob Diamond will receive his salary and benefits thought to be worth £1m to £2m, but has given up bonuses worth up to £20m after resigning amid the bank Libor scandal.

Barclays executive chairman Marcus Agius, who is being questioned by MPs about the scandal, said Mr Diamond had given up his bonus voluntarily.

Should have gone with nothing..
Got enough money already..
At least he didn't take the 20 mil... How he deserved that is beyond belief anyway..

One thing is for sure.. we're worth more than low life like that..
