If this is the best they can do then heaven help the shareholders, customers and staff. <br />My rather uncharitable guess is that Sants' internal communications will be set up to operate one way only. Doubtless he can see everything that goes on but I'll wager there is NO way he can communicate or control anything. I wouldn't let this chap run a school crossing on a 'B' road.

Either way regulatory heads should roll along with the banking ones. Bizarre to simply move those responsible for these failures into an environment where they have proved their expertise has been either flawed or compromised. Would not happen if we were prosecuting these crimes rather than rewarding the criminals for their failures. http://lifeafterdebts.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/fifth-century-teacher-buddhist-monk-and.htmllifeafterdebthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00542395196708736628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35658017.post-17477916246578783452012-12-18T06:54:49.650-08:002012-12-18T06:54:49.650-08:00Sigh. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/t...Sigh. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/taibblog/outrageous-hsbc-settlement-proves-the-drug-war-is-a-joke-20121213EMC2https://www.blogger.com/profile/15813897482289804292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35658017.post-17256842676250503632012-12-18T06:54:34.812-08:002012-12-18T06:54:34.812-08:00Sigh. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/t...Sigh. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/taibblog/outrageous-hsbc-settlement-proves-the-drug-war-is-a-joke-20121213EMC2https://www.blogger.com/profile/15813897482289804292noreply@blogger.com
