Barclays has been involved in egregious fixing of the LIBOR rate.

Barclays, through the fixing of the LIBOR rate, has taken unfairly hundreds of thousands of pounds from small and medium interests who protected their loans with swaps.

Bob Diamond has resigned - eventually - after he realised the chairman throwing himself to the wolves wouldn’t suffice.

The pusillanimous FSA have said “Oh, well, fixing the rate wasn’t a criminal offence”.

Diamond, and others, conspired  to do this. Somewhere in Barclays’ emails there is proof that senior manages knew what was going on. There should be criminal charges made. Jail terms should be served, but more importantly the Proceeds of Crime Act of  2002 should be used as this can enable  “civil recovery of proceeds of crime from unconvicted individuals”.

Let’s have the money, bonuses, houses, cars and wine collections of these wicked thieving bastards. I’m more than happy for the proceeds of this to go to defraying the support the government had to put in to support the banks.

I’d like to see these swine on Jobseeker’s Allowance, so “we can all share the pain”.
