False & Failing: 'Zombie banks criminals must go to jail'

Just when Britain's bankers thought the worst public vilification was behind them - now the CEO of one of the world's largest banks has been forced out. Bob Diamond from Barclays has bowed to all-round pressure, after his bank was caught fixing a key interest rate which overcharged customers when the financial crisis struck. The Chief Operating Officer has also quit - the third top executive in two days to do so.

A few bankers in prison would be a good start! A few politicians to keep them company would be nice too.

They're all bloody crooks...sack them all & off to jail for them...along with the politicians

who turn a blind eye. Say NO to private banks.

And yes, the bank of england says nothing's wrong with the existing system...

No Wonder, coz it's privately owned & they're crooks....ripping people off left, right & centre.

[Alfred Mayer]

the private banking system as such is criminal. full stop. we dont need those banks. we need one national bank per nation. thats it.

[phlashphil]

that is why is a french invented the guillotine because the king was steeling to much money in the . we should follow the same idea :)

[elite1980s]

I know right, I mean there's criminality every freakin where, even in the local police force where I live. It seems you can't escape from it no matter where you go. I should of added the IPCC and the MOD to the list as well.

[quadcatfly]

... I simply dont know where the money is ...

[phliperphil]

lol.... good one fantasy boy

[phliperphil]

these people should be fucking shot not in prison ...if they go to prison make dam sure the parasites never get out .. Poeple are going to get so fed up with these fucks that there will be vivilantes out to put these people away for good

[h2opower]

I think they are all going underground these bankers to hide from what is to come. Since we live in a binary solar system and they know it they are taking off and leaving us to fend for ourselves. They are going out in style and never get any jail time just to sell the lie that nothing is going to happen at the end of this year.

[bigrsoul]

These bankers will never go to gaol if it is left up to the bankers minions AKA the police, we will have to instigate citizens arrests to start the ball and hopefully heads rolling. We will have to have an echa-scetch ending to the whole banking system and perhaps the political system need to be next.
