I'm not convinced but do feel the speculators within banks rather than the entire bank staff were the issue but everyone who worked for a bank got the flack.

Andy driving around in a Bugatti Veyron probably didn't help though :-0)

I wouldn't place too much credence on the article as it also suggests politicians are more trusted now than in previous generations.

As for bankers I am afraid that the tens of thousands of good honest people who were doing a good job in providing services to joe public who have lost their jobs since 2008 have more than paid the price for the casino trading self interested bastards who caused the problems.

Anyway, I need to run as the private jet taking me to the villa in Monaco leaves shortly.

Indeed he did for about a year as a school leaver.

Nice chap apparently.
