Bankers

So, The Bank Of England tells us that the outcome of the round of interest rate cuts in recent months has led to the banks cutting the interest rates paid to savers whilst failing to pass on the interest rate cuts to mortgage payers.



Given that large chunks of the banking sector are now publicly owned is it not time that Gordon Brown rediscovered some of his early radicalism and started forcibly reminding some in the financial world who now calls the shots ?.

I think we could bring the "feelgood factor" back to a lot of people if we had a few community lynchings of bankers across the UK. Not so much a Stalinist purge, but a random stringing up of say, half a dozen of them of them. It would certainly concentrate the minds of the others !!
