All in this together, Part - er.........

More than 5 years since the financial crash yet the banks that caused it have yet to implement any real reform and no major name has been indicted.

However, according to the Treasury’s Hospitality Register, Greg Clark, the Financial Secretary and Sajid Javid, former Economic secretary who replaced Clark have been “entertained” by the City in the 3rd quarter of 2013 several times.

The 3rd of July saw Clark at a British Banker’s Association breakfast, and Javid too on the 4th.

22nd July saw Clark at a BBA Dinner and both of ‘em were at another BBA breakfast on 11th September.

The BBA is the main lobbyist for the Banks and former custodian of the much-fiddled LIBOR rate.

Clark also had breakfast on 17th July courtesy of the Banker’s Lawyers, The City of London Law Society and dinner courtesy of the Banker lobbyists the City of London Corporation that same day.

Is Banking reform being delayed because those responsible for pushing it are too cosy with the Banks or am I being overly suspicious? stevmk2

Steve, you're just overly suspicious of anyone who likes a free meal. UJ just calls everyone who gets a free meal, a tory. I just ask, when are they going to invite me?
