    they will bail them out anyway to avoid loss of employment but won't have to guarantee deposits of little people... corporatocracy.

    Big banks like Lloyds won't go bust without bailout, as long as property prices go up and up, like they always do, especially in Birmingham...

    Former Co-op Bank executives banned from senior financial roles - BBC News

    The Co-op Bank came close to collapse in 2013.

    In addition to the bans, the PRA fined Mr Tootell £173,802 and Mr Alderson was fined £88,890.
    Those fines are pathetic. They should be inprisoned for 10 years.

    Important to decide really, as a starter for 10, if you are going to be in the asleep, or awake business.

    A better way of doing it is this: pay some bum on a street a fiver a month for him to keep deposit in his name. Perhaps some some mobile based aggregation service for bums to provide such services could be my plan B...
