He's always been a slippery operator, and the tax office has found him out as well.

That's what happens when a pending bankrupt is allowed back at the money trough. JS has no credibility at all and using him for quotes lowers the credibility of all who use him.

Why shouldn't Bank's shareholders accept they have to make sacrifices also? Shareholders in every other industry are having to wear it. What a load of bollocks from John Symonds about keeping the banks "strong" ... FAT and feather-bedded more like!
