The Banks always do what they want anyway…rules yeah right.

BofE Governor is right, however Reeves is desperate to find growth from somewhere and is happy to burn any and everything to do it.
The above said 2008 wasn’t exactly the BofE’s
finest hour and we’ve all ended up paying again and again for it ever since.

It doesn’t matter, her paymasters have decided what they want, and the government will provide it – along with the necessary bailouts when it all goes wrong again.

I’ve lost count by now since they’re all back to back, what number would this once in a lifetime crisis be now?

Everyone involved in the industry knows there is too much regulation and red tape, much of which is contradictory, but the challenge is knowing what you can remove to enable efficiency without increasing risk.
The proposed changes to the FOS are a great start, but ring-fencing and capital requirements are probably the area they should stay well clear of deregulation, though this is probably what the banks will push for.
As much as people moan the UK banks have been impeccably behaved since 08, closest we’ve had to a proper scandal since is Farage being binned by NatWest.

I don’t understand this. Why instead of emasculating the England’s Bank, why not just cut its independence and put the bank under Treasury? Surely, it would promote growth and stability instead of competing against the government’s will, not?

The fact that bankers can request, with some decent chance of receiving what they want, regulations being removed, tells you everything you need to know about how corrupt this all is.
