Originally posted by Mordac View PostOn a technical point, sterling has not been devalued, it's value against other currencies has gone down. Besides, all my dealings are in sterling, so the relative value of sterling shouldn't make any difference.
I'm about to purchase my lunch. Today I will use Sterling.

Exclude the fines, and RBS is churning out a £1bn profit every three months.
Whats the chance that business will generate more fines in the future

Disregard for democracy: the Irish referendum on the Lisbon treaty. Make sure they have another one and bully/bribe them into voting the right way this time.
Political egos: Look at all the flapping around to "save" Greece, for example. The fact that Greece has been well and truly buttrogered by the "deal" doesn't matter squat. The important thing was to save the EU vanity project, which is ultimately what the EU is.
I'm sure there is a hell of a lot more in that particular can of worms, but I don't have access to a big enough tin opener.
