Sadly I fear this is to be expected in a capitalist society. I dont know why anyone is surprised but whats the alternative - communism didnt work. Power corrupts and absolte power corrupts absolutely - perhaps all the banks should be nationalised?

All so pitiful and so expected - when will these greedy people get their just rewards?

When are we going to rise up - first tax avoidance, now this. And in between the onslaught on benefit claimants? What on earth is our society about? Where are the moral values, the leadership - I despair. Will Diamond pay the price - as if !! And how much has he already got salted away in tax avoidance - apologies - tax efficient schemes already? Will heads roll? Absolutely not - if you bank with Barclays, or RBS etc leave - I can recommend Nationwide - not perfect but better than many. This was known about at least 4 years ago - how much has been paid out in bonuses since then?
