Re: BEWARE! THE BANKS ARE OUT TO GET YOU!

Almost single handedly destroying so much wealth and yet no one is accountable? The GDP numbers are still 0.6% off the peak, all these years later.

Fairly damning report into the management of the Co-operative bank, and the even more parlous state of Britannia when Gordon & Ed forged a wedding between the two. A deal that should never have been done, and maybe Britannia would have been another of those banks who lent money on property to go...

Re: BEWARE! THE BANKS ARE OUT TO GET YOU!

The Labour Party are giving hints that they are to move their accounts from the Co-op into a bank set up under the Union umbrella.
