    Default How stupid are they

    Right in the middle of the Levison inquiry into phone hacking etc. what do these yahoos do but send texts/emails etc trumpeting there success at fixing there interbank llending rate in there favour.
    Line them up down threadneedle strret, strip em naked and make them run between those who they have knacked with their idiotic ways and dangerous practises. Then shoot the lot of them.

    Bob Diamond CEO of Barclays was paid £20.9 million last year,presumably he is paid this obscene amount fot having his finger on the pulse and running a successful company.Now that the balloon has gone up about bank rate fixing he wants to distant himself from this and blame junior members of staff,he was responsible for running that division at the time where the rogue practice took place.He is responsible for running that bank that is why he is paid the salary that he receives so at the end of the day he should take the blame and be taken to court and even gaoled.
    Regards.

    Until we reward them for their dodgy dealings with a good spell in the nick, and not million pound bonuses, nothing will change. The latest a**hole at Barclays is blaming those under him, thats the same as the captain of the Concordia blaming one of his officers, the buck stops with the skipper, Regards KT

    If my memory serves me right when the Herald Of Free Enterprise went down the Directors of the company like the CEO were taken to court for Corporate Manslaughter although they were not on board they were still responsible for the actions of the crew.The same law should apply to Barclays it should be Corporate Fraud and they should be taken to task for the actions of their staff.
