  Im not sure if this has been covered on one of the other threads but I see that Bob Diamond has fallen on his sword this morning. Diamond, once at the cutting edge of bigtime banking, will now find that his career will be clouded if not downright blighted by dodginess on the verge of criminality...there are calls for fraud charges to be brought. Someone made the point yesterday that a chap in the riots got 9 months in jail for stealing a bottle of water, yet doubts remain if ever any of these big time banking crooks who deal in millions will ever see criminal charges brought against them...'one law for them, another law for the rest of us' said the wag on television.
  
  Banking really has a miserable reputation..the lowest of the low.It cant go lower. You would not buy a used Lamborghini from most of these guys...but they used to oooze respectability once, alas it was a thin veneer. We used to think second hand car dealers, estate agents or traffic wardens were villains but not any more...they are positively holy in comparison.
  
  Conservative MP Claire Perry, a pleasant individual who I believe was a banker in a former life, but now of course an MP..said earlier
  
  "Never has so much money been earned by so few for doing so little..."
  
  This is so accurate..big salaries big bonuses wrapped up in a nonsense spin that you need to pay these salaries in order to secure the best...well its simply not the case, hundreds if not thousands could do the job.
