Fair point Lurking... banking is like engineering... there are many different areas of speciality. Unfortunately this moronic government lumps them all in together and blames "bankers" per se as the source of all evil to direct attention away from their own failings.
For example in engineering you have mechanical, chemical, production, civil engineers etc etc... in banking you have retail bankers, corporate bankers, wealth management advisors, hedge funds, investment banks, private equity, even specialist charity bankers etc etc.... all very very different roles.
In many ways blaming certain bankers for the collapsing financial system is like blaming the plumber who put in a toilet when a factory burns down..... pathetic
Also I can tell you that EVERYONE who was in someway repsonsible for this mess is already out of a job.... except for 1 individual.... I even know his address.... 10 Downing street....
