Time to prosecute the bankers, Mr. Liar Cameron, not protect them

Ireland’s collapse has thrown the spotlight on the antics of the AIB. I once worked at the AIB and they are a bunch of corrupt, incompetent crooks. Many of their worst loans will have been to friends and associates of AIB directors. The bank basically funded the little mafia that runs Ireland. Instead of giving these AIB crooks more money, they should be prosecuted for fraud, false accounting, theft and other crimes.

Likewise, Sir Fred Goodwin and the bosses of HBOS should be hauled before the courts and prosecuted for false accounting, deception, fraud and theft amongst other things. But of course, the ruling elite always protects its own. Some years ago, I reported the then Fred Goodwin to the SFO and offered to provide documentation which could have led to him being prosecuted for defrauding the creditors of the BCCI of tens of millions. Of course, the SFO refused to even look at the documents.
