It really amounts to the behaviour of a primary school kid telling a teacher 'it wasn't me, the big boys told me to do it!'

Pathetic. How have we reached the point that people with the emotional development of 5 year olds are running huge corporations? More importantly, how are we supposed to get rid of them and prevent such infantile people getting such positions in future?

Well thats one thing I am not going to blame them for, lucky there where some businesses that saw sense.

Shares are £1.67. Anything less than £1.50 is a buy.

I remember reading at the height of the bubble about a tax scam that they were involved in.

something to do with leasing a gas pipeline from Scotland to Eire, then renting it out to the Irish.
They never owned it, pumped gas, or had any interest in the energy industry. pure scammines
What the hell is a hight st bank doing getting involved in stuff like that ?

The Blame Culture

It wasn't me guv...

I love this quote:

The external pressure placed on Barclays has reached a level that risks damaging the franchise - I cannot let that happen.
