after their connections with Apartheid South Africa, wonder how serious this will be for them?

I do particularly hate Barclays mind for their involvement with First Plus loans.
Scum, sub human scum

As I remember it, the Conservatives supported the bail out of the banks in 2008, so I wasn't looking make a party political point, more that, when offered help by the Government, Barclays instead opted to go into what would appear to have been a distinctly dodgy deal to raise the cash.

The banks that caused the crisis, and the governments in Japan, Iceland and America that allowed deregulation and CDO, CDS and marked subprime mortgages as AAA to take place are equally to blame. I saw it coming as I see the next economic crisis starting now, but this is just an aftershock after the '08 crapfest.

Very few bankers like Barclays have been prosecuted.
