Only around £60 million of that fine was imposed by GB the rest was by the USA, so it seems there will be very little going to those people affected

I see that Diamond resigned. I hadn't realized he was American. Go figure, eh. America ... land of free enterprise and white-collar crime. Not quite in Bernie Madoff's league, but not bad.

You could tell Bob Diamond was a wrong 'un.

Anyone with a mouthful of such false looking, dazzlingly white veneered teeth, should never be trusted.

Plus, I-spy botox.

Any man so utterly vain, will have no qualms when it comes to being dishonest.

Well it just goes to prove you can't turn a sow's ear into a silk purse, no matter how much money you spend trying.

You still look like a hamster faced prat, with joke shop teeth, and an unaturally conker coloured looking barnet.

There's usually an Accy Web member popping up, everytime Barclays is in the news.

Normally to say just how well they're weathering the storm, and all without a publicly funded bail-out.

Perhaps he's busy finalising his application, for the recently vacated post of chairman.

Six million quid?

Pah.

Peanuts.

Hardly worth getting out of your reproduction four poster, with gold-plated knobs on.

Tony Blair earned £20m in just one year advising business bosses and foreign governments | Mail Online

Should have been a Labour politican.

The silly banker.

Re: Banking Scandal

if you mean me I am obviously bound by my terms of employment to discuss anything of any sensitivity...

as for who earns 6 million let me point you at a huge number of premier league footballers who beat this hands down for kicking a bag of wind around.....
