I guess that's what the bankers who caused the problems told you........and you along with millions believed?
2yrs max, a good clear out and we could all move on. Instead we've had 10yrs of grief but the bankers are more than ok! To make matters worse, things are worse today than they were leading up to the last crash!
Get it?

IMO i dont think the money used for the banks was actually earmarked for anything else.
Im not sure what you think would have been done with it to put us in a better place.!
Maybe a divvy up for all of us?
Dont think that would have happened.
Imagine the pain for 1000s if those banks went pear shaped.

Well my point was that no money was taken from anyone individually to fund the bail out.
You paid and so did i.
Austerity was going to happen anyway.
It's called Wealth Confiscation.
Maybe you could be right but im sure in that 2 years as you say before we 'move on' the collateral damage to us would have been immense.
But the change going forward would've benefited us and those who follow.
Hiw many americans are still picking up the pieces from fannie and freddie.
A similar amount to many Brits who lost due to the banks 'bending the rules' i guess.
That will put it in perspective.
Current 'perspective' is that the economic world is far worse off than we were 10yrs ago......20yrs ago......30yrs ago etc etc when 1 average wage could happily support 1 average family. Progress?
Millions of us eh. You can fool some of the people etc.
And they do.
Very disingenuous.Quite the opposite.

You may wish to look at the Corporate Governance Code

Britain’s is the most controlling by far

You may not have seen it but change came fast and hard
