    Question Four banking tales

    Here is a tale of four big British banks - RBS, Barclays, Co-op Bank and Lloyds, all doing interesting stuff five years after the great banking crash, not all of it good news, but none of it threatening (phew) to the wealth of savers.

    Does anyone really believe that these clowns and scammers who created the global financial meltdown in the first place can actually get us out of it using the very same doubtful policies and behaviours?

    Smells a wee bit fishy selling the Lloyds shares to institutions for £3.2 billion when people are predicting they'll rise in the coming weeks. Seems as though Osborne is just handing a tidy quick profit over to the institutions.
    As for Barclays it seems they've learnt nothing from the Libor scandal and perhaps large fines just don't work.
    Shouldn't we take a lesson from Iceland and maybe put corrupt bankers in jail.
