Now i see the game introduces different rules, in Cypress you deposit your money for the bankers to play games with, then when they cock it up, they take a proportion of your money so they can keep going. The Brit troops there lose their money as well, so we pay it for them, and in our way prop the bad banks in Cypress up!!!, is it me, or is the world going bloody crackers. This lot in Cypress will have given our banks food for thought, so watch out lads and lassies, in fact i can see banks worldwide thinking *this is a good idea* KT

this may course a run on the banking industry the whole system of the eu bailing countries out is a failure if a countries economy collapses take that country out of the eu how many can we support? i bet a bankers pay doesn't drop by a penny or his bonus every year what ever happend to just getting the sack and your p45 now its millions to get rid of them crazy world?jp

To plunder someones bank account like this seems nothing less than theft to me,how can the bankers just take money from your account without your permission.It's not even a loan or a type of bond.

Jim if you look at their history lately they are a law unto themselves they don't care its not their money i can see firms going back to a wage packet in a few years with computer breakdowns and people not being able to pay bills is a bank safe today for all the interest you may as well go under the mattress like the old days.jp

I have no axe to grind in saving bankers, but its not he bankers imposing the tax on Cyprus, its the EU.
The EU is demanding that the local populace pay towards the EU bail out of Cyprus.
How long before this tax is rolled out across all of the EU in order to spare the bloated economy of that institution?

[Captain Kong]

They are taking 10% of everyones bank savings.
Why not just take All the Savings off All the Politicians in eu , that would certainly solve the crisis. and end this stupid eu.

Hi shipmates, thats what happen in Argentina a few years ago the bankers took all the yankee dollars from all the bank accounts, and did a runner? No one was jailed for that crime ? The middle class were hit the worst some were force to live on the streets homeless eating out of bins. The greedy bankers stealing !0% is only the start in Cypress much more will follow , The banks are no longer trust worthy in the E.U. will this happen in the U.K.? After I took my few bob out of barclays 5 years ago !!! The first credit union I put the few bob in folded !!! but my account was cover by insurance thanks to the F.S.A. so had all my money back after 5 months waiting !!! A scam free money for them for 5 months?

If indeed as is hinted at by one or two posts that this practice may spread to British banks, I'm well prepared for them- maths ain't my strong point, but how can they take 10% of f**k all?
