I remember when they borrowed money to replace the savings and deposits of members of the public which the Banks had lent to developers who had subsequently gone bust. Rather than calling it "Borrowing from future generations to replace the lost savings of old people" we called it "Recapitalising the Banks".I remember when the politicians were giving all our money away to Banks etc... that about 7 billion was to be targeted for distressed consumers for the purposes of debt relief. Can anyone find any link to it as it appears to be airwashed from history.
We did it was about 6.7Bn but the banks just took it and gave very little reliefI don't remember that.
Don't forget - we gave the money to the depositors and the bondholders in the banks. Not to the shareholders or to "the banks".
