I love the conspiracy theorists that come out when something like this happens, why don't we just look at the actual information to hand and what actually caused the situation and it clearly isn't any sort of conspiracy plot and if it was then the banks that have folded or been bought out due to financially folding, the job loses, the lost of shareholder share value etc - yep those banks have really lined their pockets.
And on what basis do you think that the government is lining their pocket? On the funds they are having to inject into the economy to try and stop the sliding of the sharemarket value? Maybe they are just pretending to inject millions of pounds into nationalisation of Bradford and Bingley's book and this is all just a false publicity stunt and the media are in on it too as are the customers pretending that they have lost their free shares.
Might I suggest you watch a bit more of the news folks and learn what is actually happening.
Think more along the lines of 1 central controlled bank. After every major incident or fiasco joe public seems to lose a bit more freedom in the name of 'security' or 'safety'
