He now wants unethical and unscrupulous bankers to avoid 10 year prison sentences rather than avoiding the 7 year prison sentences as they do now.
yip another one last chance. byby hsbc first of many. these guys are just a modern day arther scargill. but with considerably more power. well done magie.
and walks when it suites, i dare say its a lot easier to move a few hard drives and paintings than an engineering works when the feckers don't get their way. still proud to be tory anyone?
We don't vote politicians into power with express instructions to ruin the national finances and as far as I'm aware no party has ever pledged to do so in their manifesto. They do it after they've got their feet under the table and then walk away from the mess to spend more time with their pensions. But if you want to start jailing the politically illiterate that's fine by me.
Not express instructions, no. It's implicit in the job description: join a party, move & shake a bit, become a Minister, screw things up, get a knighthood and become an non-executive director of Cash4Us PLC. And the Conservatives pledged to destroy the national finances in the 70's - although they called it "increasing the numbers of home-owners and shareholders".
He could always bring some prosecutions to bear and see how well the legislation stands up! Are there no unscrupulous operators in any other industries in the world?
it's not so much the unscrupulous, it's the power in london they hold and with an economy relying on trickle down profit from financial services and hsbc stating last month they feel hindered by the new legislation coming through, hay what chance we got.
