    An MP lead enquiry, where we have 13 people all with different agendas, and political stances, arguing amongst themselves, not having a clue how to ask questions let alone what questions should be asked.

    My bet is Bob Diamond would love this as well.

    Funny, because I was just watching yesterday an old episode (2009) of "The Oracle with Max Keiser" and he was openly talking of interest rate manipulation by English banks. Of course the BBC sacked him a few weeks later.

    Sorry I should have given more emphasis to the term out of our economy.

    A lot of people trouser money and that's good of course, but it remains in the UK economy.

    All cash is eventually trousered by someone or other.

    In that picture , I detect fear in his eyes.

    Given that it was probably taken from a file, I reckon the fear is of people discovering he's completely and utterly devoid of any economic knowledge; other than the utopian crap his party fed him when he joined.

    Who gives a damn who specifically is to blame, I personally don't want scapegoats but want to try and use this past 2 years to get some regulation in to protect us against corruption.

    Corrupt police, corrupt ministers, corrupt bankers and now even the BoE is implicated....

    Is this Britain or the far east, just how much cash is being trousered out of our treasury and economy?
