The banking system in the western world is out of control and needs to be reminded that it’s primary reason it to serve the population, and not to strive to optimise profits at the sacrifice of “normal folks".
Surely a banks "primary reason" is to make money. Whilst there may be room for a National Bank funded by the tax payer you cannot conceivably think that the city of London or indeed any major financial centre could operate successfully if it were state owned. You only have to look at your beloved East Germany to see it will always end in failure.
