Yep, that’s just what we want: a chancellor who is prepared to pay £1m in legal fees to protect the bankers’ mega-bonuses. So, not only are we, the taxpayers, footing the legal bill, but we, the taxpayers, are effectively also paying their bonuses, through quantitative easing. Who would have thought that these are the very same bankers who destroyed livelihoods, economies and the hope of millions through fraud on an industrial scale, precipitating a new age of austerity?
