Spaniards that saved money (and didn't spend it like most did) got cheated by their bank.
How to steal from your customer.
Wondering if directors of these banks still can sleep at night (or are they still having a party).

Hi FiFi. Dont forget our own Irish banks did the same and got away with it. And we the tax payer are bailing the f***ers out. On a nicer note I will be in Fuerteventura from the 15th to the 25sep would love to meet you for a btl of water some time if your about. And dont mention B(w)ankers

Isn't it amazing how the city always bangs on about the importance of free trade, small government and how socialism is a bad idea yet forget all those ideals when they require security. Which since it's always there means there is no incentive for them to stop filling their collective pockets, legal or not

Next time we hear their threats of leaving the country if they don't get their way instead of saying nothing (as the media has) we should be making them walk the plank into the sea.

The biggest mistake (for want of a better word) was to let private banks create money from thin air and therefore control the economy/people.

I think it was around 9 million quid just for one financial advisor to the exchequer at the time, is this not lobbying but getting paid extortionate amounts to boot?
Try to educate a fool and you become one

Hi Dagwood, it would be great to meet you. I have no flights booked yet but  I will give you a shout if I am likely to be over then. :)

I have an account with La Caja de Canarias - part of Bankia

They tried the hard sell for weeks during the merger - lots of emails and phone calls.

Buying shares in any bank at the moment, especially in Spain - I don't think so!!

Thats what I call the Tommy Cooper banking method. They will turn your money into thin air. Just not in as funny away as Tommy.
