//This is as the article says a move designed to stop any future taxpayer bail-out of banks //
It also says
//The new rescue blueprint would involve transferring powers to a new EU agency//
They are using the banking issues to push through more change that will grab power from soverign states. - EUCCP here we come.
//Something I think probably all of us want
- With the possible exception of YMB and his banker buddies of course //
Three problems with this.
1) why would I want to be in the position of a public bailout? Even though I work in a Bank how would that do me any good?
2) I have never worked in a UK Bank, any bailouts would come from the US citizens, thought that would be right up your street given your hatred of the US.
3) Most people who work in Banks work for very little money, many are on not much mor than minimum wage. Bonuses, if they are given (which is getting rarer) are usually in their hundreds not thousands and of course are taxed and NI'd like normal pay. Bankers also do not have gold plated pensions like you and are subject to being fired very easily, unlike public sector. Yet despite this in the UK they drive the economy for the likes of yuo to slate them off at any opportunity.
But as you say, Hey why let facts get in the way?
