Yes the banking industry does indeed generate a lot of revenue but if it makes a loss in doing that yet directors are still gaining massive salaries and even bigger bonuses it will never regain its former strength and therefore a new way needs to be found to make them profitable again.

The U.K. survived and flourished before banking became our largest generator of wealth and will do again, we really don't need unprofitable businesses who we are holding up telling us how lucky we are to have them.Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14553596079534794722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2175065117578768968.post-24726864685909044542012-02-29T03:27:21.211-08:002012-02-29T03:27:21.211-08:00Re: Point 5.

Banking IS the biggest industry and wealth generator in the UK. It is essential that we get banking profitable again to increase UK treasury tax receipts. The UK will not regain growth until the banks return ot profitability. Britain calling banks "bad business" is akin to Japan calling electronics "bad business" because they are currently not profitable. It's madness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
