Recently, several of our major banks including CIBC and HSBC have been fined millions for misleading investors. Looks good on 'em.  Pity they didn't get jail time. |
You've been Listening to Mancie to much Eric, the thing is it was Gordon that deregulated the banks and gave them a free hand, if the Bank of England had still been monitoring what was going on we wouldn't have been in this much of a mess, But a least Gordon has done away the the old Labour Tax and Spend policies, its now Borrow and Spend and stuff the consequences
