A bunch of bankers

In February 1995, Nick Leeson fled Singapore after his irresponsible banking practices led to the collapse of the Barings bank. He was tracked down, extradited, tried and jailed for 6 years.

In February 2009, the men who have brought the entire British banking system to its knees through their irresponsible banking practices have been bailed out by the government using our money, and are now arguing that they should be getting a bonus - and that if they can't have a bonus, they should award themselves a payrise.

Is it just me, or is someone having a great big laugh at our expense?
