Wot they robin banka’s aw bout? Eh? Perfick plonkers f u ask me! How fick r dey? Lokt up they shood be, an d key frone eway!
You don’t say! And that should be for their infantile abuse of the written word alone!
I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard some of our biggest banking institutions had again been caught fiddling and diddling our money, this time fixing the world’s currency markets.
That many of their employees cheap, robbing scammers disguised as city traders had again manipulated the markets, rigged prices and lied their amoral faces off to boost their companies’ profits and line their gilt-edged pockets was a jaw dropper.
They’d been doing this after they had been caught, fined and forced to return billions for fixing Libor interest rates, wrongly selling PPI AND long after their corrupt practices in 2008 had brought the world to its knees.
That was a multi-trillion pound crime of the century that saw no UK banker, trader or city broker ever dragged before the court.
They also shamelessly and shockingly sneered and bragged about their successes using illiterate and txt speak emails and moaned they couldn’t make “free money with no ****ing heads up”.
It all had me wondering why our banks, which were already guilty of all the above and a lot more besides, had ever picked such moronic clowns to do their dirty work in the first place. Light fingered spivs schooled in the dark arts of Arthur Daley and Del Boy Trotter.
You couldn’t make it up, but it seems they did and made a fortune doing just that and yet again they are being let off with another paltry fine.
Just £2bn a staggering amount to you and I but very small beer for those banks concerned. And the sickening irony of the whole sorry affair, especially where RBS is concerned, is that it is the taxpayer who will pay the fine because they own RBS.
We are assured justice will be brought to bear on those responsible, that they have already been suspended and if found guilty will be expected to pay back any sums made. We are told that the Serious Fraud Office are investigating and charges will be made.
Aye right! Heard it before. Why aren’t they in jail just now? Why haven’t they already been charged?
They obviously have enough evidence to have issued the fines so why is that same evidence not being used to have them all run through Bow Street Magistrates Court. Yet more bluff and bluster, I’m afraid, to calm the money markets and keep them all rolling in the deep.
This week a good friend of mine was told by the RBS that they were calling in her personal guarantee and would file for bankruptcy if the sum owed was not paid. The fact that she has already lost her family home to them when her husband lost his business, and that she in turn split from her husband and has no discernible assets was of no concern to them.
They know she will find it almost impossible to find proper high level legal representation to take them on. Because they have signed all the good ones up and it would be a conflict of interest for them to represent her.
I doubt even Blofeld in a James Bond movie could come up with that one.
It beggars belief that they are allowed to get away with it. From rigging the world’s financial markets right down to robbing the ordinary person of their home, business and dignity, these crooked financial behemoths seem to get away with it all and are allowed to be habitual repeat offenders with no case to answer.
They must be stopped, they must be broken up! In their own txt speak: “Snd em to d scrubs, fore eny 1 els cumz a cropper!”
