It's really not that simple. I'm a socialist , and even I can see that.
Banking reform will take time, and it will happen. You can't simply barge in and start making demands instantly, it will fuck up.

Blaming the banks is easy. Sorting the mess out isn't.

Oh I absolutely agree that sorting the mess out will take ages.
It's just that it seems from here that an awful lot of people have got away with not only cocking it all up and not having to either clear up the mess or pay for it, but they've actually made money and managed to actively avoid any penalties whatsoever.

Not that I'm not a believer in screwing over the little people if one can, mind - I'm just enjoying the opportunity to whine self-righteously. If I were a banker I wouldn't be saying all this pretentious, justification bullshit about losing good people if you fine them, I'd simply be wiping my arse on £50 notes and flicking the V sign to the povvers outside the gates of my fucking enormous mansion.
