A police investigation must surely follow this latest banking scandal. As the chairman of Barclays resigns, and we prepare to hear evidence in the House in 2 days from Bob Diamond, I am in no doubt that those who are responsible for this fraud should be brought to justice. The matter should be put in to the hands of the police forthwith.
This can only strengthen our argument for the need for local community banks, rather than these big beasts who seem to ride roughshod over the normal rules of law and ethics.
