That is not my heading but The Sun, and yes they have a lot to apologise for, they were greedy, didn’t notice that the economy was collapsing and ignored all the warning signs.
But let’s not forget who deregulated the financial system; let’s not forget who said that no regulation was the way to go.
Let’s not forget that the chancellor at the time holds an enormous proportion of blame, probably greater than that of the bankers.
Let’s not forget that Gordon Brown is the bad guy in this debacle, he was supposed to be in charge of the economy, and have we had a proper apology from him?
This government is unsurpassed at blaming others for their mistakes, they make everyone else accountable for their mistakes, but they don’t accept the fact that they are the government; they are responsible to us for their decisions.
Should they resign? Probably, what we need is a coalition government, with no one party who has overall power, then perhaps we might see “proper government” where we can expect the government to protect us from the type of mistakes that we have had to put up with for the past twenty years or so.
Rant over.
