He was supposed to be senior management not a lowly clerk at the counter, he was responsible for the lending policy of HBOS, therefore the blame should stop there, the trick in banking is to lend to trustworthy customers who will eventually pay back the capital and paying the interest on the loan at intervals. This guy probably thought we will lend to any likely lad/lass who comes through the door. Lending can go bad with a well managed company, demand falls, customers not paying on time or demanding that their period of credit should be extended, list goes on, but this man while obeying the rules of the law did not obey the spirit of the law.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-75276392826319814442012-09-14T02:07:33.303+01:002012-09-14T02:07:33.303+01:00If there was any justice he'd be arraigned bef...If there was any justice he'd be arraigned before the bar of the House and banged up for life, all his assets forfeit.

That would shame the government.<br /><br />* You might think so in the decisions he made and clearances he gave, but that was pure self interest talking. Let's hope he doesn't now qualify for legal aid.measuredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11281134269555074558noreply@blogger.com
