But I do want to point out that £1,000,000,000 would just do nicely to build the College at March which we in Fenland were promised. I await the pension and golden handshakes all round for the unfortunate bankers. I know nothing about all this.

This is also tied in with RBS. It is possible that there is a very large private property group in real trouble as a consequence of highly leveraged ventures into the commercial property sector in recent years. The political trouble lies in the other sectors of the business, because the company is playing hard ball with the clients who provide the income streams. If this company hits the rocks all hell will break loose as the consequences unravel.
