Barclay's is one of the biggest banks in the world that practically control the world economy. They were complicit in the economical breakdown in 2008 and have been on several times found to be partaking in criminal organizations such as money laundry and fixing foreign currencies, but their managers and CEOs always manage to escape jail time with plea bargains.

To be fair to Barclays - you have to separate the 'divisions' - high street banking is ok Bob Diamond was the biggest problem and he's gone now

All Banks were complicit in the financial meltdown and it started in the US with sub-prime mortgages being bundled with other mortgages and sold as investment opportunities. The whole system is integrated so everybody from Andora to Zimbabwe were involved. Then came the rate fixing 'Libor' again all banks have been found guilty.

The whole problem with banking is the obsene amount of bonuses - this leads people to do silly things...

But the Premier League sounds fine to me.

Can't remember who said this, maybe Frankie Boyle, but it's probably the best thing I've heard about the meltdown: "Bankers getting bonuses after the financial meltdown is like Bin Laden getting air-miles for 9/11!"

The lot of wall street and the CEOs of the big banks, Barclay's included, have caused more suffering than most criminals and tyrants in the world. They should all be in jail. Simple as that.

Slaven Bilic appointed new West Ham manager. Should do well if his track record is anything to go by.

Blatter's replacing Karen Brady. When your owners have made all there money selling dildos and wank mags Blatter's experience of accepting something dodgy in a brown bag will be invaluable.
