It seems the whole country is divided as to issues like Brexit, the funding of the health service, etc. etc. But meanwhile .......
Matters that impact heavily on all these issues seem to be not very widely reported or analysed in the media and therefore seem to fly under the radar so far as the general public is concered.
If anyone is interested, here is a link to the testimony of April this year to the International Tribunal for Natural Justice on the issue of Global Corruption and Collusion given by Antony Stansfeld, Police and Crime Commissioner for Thames Valley.
It is a truly shocking indictment of the banking system as it currently operates.
He says that "something has gone seriously wrong in the leadership of our major banks". He refers to what is, in effect, a commercially incestuous relationship between banks, regulatory authorities, insolvency practitioners, law firms, and accountants/auditors. He says:
"There is a massive problem in our regulatory authorities. I find it quite extraordinary that the chairman of the FCA, until the beginning of this month, was a very senior partner of KPMG which did the audits of HBOS. They overlooked a fraud approaching £1 million and a multi-billion hole in the accounts. This man went on to be Chairman of the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority). The Chairman of the FRA (Financial Reporting Authority) gave KPMG a clean bill of health last year. His previous job was Chirman of Lloyds when this was going on so how on earth do people expect to get justice with a system like this."
It is a longish statement but very clearly articulated and shockingly enlightening. I hope some people will listen to it and ponder its contents.
