Why should we trust the bankers with our money,if were late on our payments they charge us.
When they commit any sort of misconduct,they seem to get away with it,They dont get charged or any late payment fees etc.
This is not what we call justice,This is plain and simple Fraud.
Bankers could be trusted one day now they can't.
The barclays scandal is the latest in the long string of scandals produced by the banks.

What do you think of the bankers and the banking crisis going on just now.
Dont get me wrong these are only a couple Their have been many more.
Paul Tucker, the Bank of England Deputy Governor who has been drawn into the centre of the Barclays Libor rigging scandal, will give evidence to MPs next week.
Mr Tucker has asked to give evidence to MPs "as soon as possible" to clarify his position regard to the events involving the Bank of England in the scandal, including the telephone conversation with Bob Diamond on 29 October 2008.
He will appear before the Treasury Select Committee investigating the Libor rate-fixing scandal on Monday afternoon and Marcus Agius, theBarclays chairman who resigned over the scandal last week, will give evidence on Tuesday morning.
Barclays and other banks have been accused of manipulating the Libor rate, which is used to set the borrowing costs for millions of consumers, businesses and investors. Barclays was fined £290m by UK and US regulator over the scandal.
An email released by Barclays suggested that Mr Tucker gave a hint to Bob Diamond, the bank’s chief executive, in 2008 that the rate it was claiming to be paying to borrow money from other banks could be lowered.
In the email Mr Diamond states: "Mr Tucker stated the levels of calls he was receiving from Whitehall were 'senior' and that while he was certain we did not need advice, that it did not always need to be the case that we appeared to be as high as we have recently."
Bob Diamond, who resigned as Barclays chief executive on Tuesday, was questioned yesterday about the email by MPs investigating rate rigging at the bank.
Andrew Tyrie MP, chairman of the Treasury Committee, suggested the email could easily be read as approval for Libor supression from the Bank.
However, Mr Diamond claimed he understood Mr Tucker's comments to be a "heads up" that unnamed senior government officials were concerned about the bank's financial health at the time.
Several former Labour government ministers have already denied they gave any instructions that could have suggested Barclays had a greenlight to submit lower Libor rates.
