Chancellor George Osborne said the fines were part of a "long term plan that is fixing what went wrong in Britain's banks and our economy".
Pulling them up for the obviously illegal stuff is a start.
Will it extend to the less obvious illegal stuff, and the stuff that is inherently destabilising? Nothing in place at the moment would prevent another 2008 crash, nothing would prevent the same people making more money hand over fist from the same thing.
