Economy & Banks

So what you are saying is we should have gone to war for the banks, as that would have been cheaper in the long run?

Exactly my point....

(I find the subject of banking hubris fascinating, but I just didn't think that the cost of the Iraq war (c.£10bn since about 2003) would really have meant much in the big scheme of things compared to the need to spirit £124bn out of nowhere since 2008)

I think the point that I really wish to make is the ways that the politicians use hard earned tax payers money... very questionable...

Yes - I wholeheartedly agree.
