With losses of over£5 billion this 'financial institution' still managed to pay out 'bonuses' of over £600 million.

Today I note that their ATMs have failed again ...

Surely the cahoots were never more crowded. However the City of London is the place with the laxest regulations it makes Wall Street look like a monastery.
