You seem to think that bankers operate with the same
laws as everyone else - I do not.Whatever colour of
government gets in the bankers are not affected to any
significant degree.....still waiting for bonuses to be capped -
still waiting for the ConDems to legislate the banking
system (like Labour b4 them)might be a long wait.
The British tax payer bailed out two banks - Barclays
got help from Arabia.
You might find the tax bills of the rich and famous are
dis-proportionate to their earning if they have such people
as accountants doing the sums (footballers exposed this
last week).
It would be interesting to see some figures of the numbers
of out of London passengers travelling to the Capital to travel onwards
through the airports.From a commercial point of view
its obviously an advantage to funnel people through your
main base (as BA have done)and I have no argument with that.
But when an airline provides a service locally it doesnt matter
who/where they come from etc in this 'globalised' world that
bankers have created for us.
