Bank of England governor Mark Carney last night dismissed proposals to cap bankers’ bonuses as ‘crude’ measures that will fail.
(that was a comment from Jan)

and here is his most recent argument AGAINST prosecuting bankers:

A jail filled with reckless bankers would only offer some cold comfort, but hardly pose a deterrent or boost public confidence.
Merely prosecuting the guilty to the full extent of the law will not be sufficient to address the issues raised.”

which brings me to the inescapable conclusion that hanging is the only solution.
