The future of UK banking?

Hardly a support, yes the stick has got a bit smaller or is being put away for another day. The way things are going i 'spose it dont make much odds whether the mortgages are held by a 100% owned state bank or a 70% (add yr own %) state bank.

Contrary to popular belief, Northern Crock will not be lending more.
