When it comes to banks we have to get over the anger about bonuses and look at the stuff that banks do that means they pay those bonuses. www.positivemoney.org.uk/

I hate banks with a passion, I hate all they stand for and how they can just shrug the shoulders and say, thats the way it is!! The only way to hurt a bank is not go overdrawn, not owe them a penny and change every 18 months when free banking finishes, but that is almost impossible!! I would love a state owned bank, which is the only method of controlling them, by giving people a viable alternative!!

You missed out "withdraw all funds immediately that they are deposited, and only ever accept immediate/overnight payment methods". There's an easy way to do the rest of the things you list - don't get a stupid type of bank account. The moment you pay a bank for the privilege of having anything beyond a basic account, you're paying them twice.

Shrewsace I really dont care because there is nothing I can do about it, the damage is done. We can leave it to the Government of the day, but they still cannot dictate what a private company pays someone!! and if they impose sanctions and new rule on the banks, they will still pass those on to the individual with higher interest rates and more bank charges. Or shall I live an angry life because the banks, and oil companies are screwing us every minute of the day?? Just a few thoughts in response to that: Lloyds is 43% taxpayer owned, at a time when people's jobs, services and pensions are being decimated on the grounds that 'there is no money left, we're broke', is it right that we should be guaranteeing this man 5,000 a day just for turning up? Are the government quite as powerless in the face of this avarice as they make out? They're quite prepared to use the courts to change legislation relating to unions and workers, but not in this case. Could it be they don't want to upset their paymasters? Given the Tories receive over half their funding from the City, it wouldn't take a grea leap of the imagination, would it? I don't know about 'living an angry life because the banks, and oil companies are screwing us every minute of the day'. But a lot of people seem to live an angry life because of 'bureaucrats' 'The Nanny State', 'benefit scroungers' and 'gold plated public sector pensions'. As for your earlier comment about nationalising banks, now you're talking, comrade. You also hate the banks - who fund the Tories. I think you could be a closet lefty! Come and join the revolution, brother! Your starter pack of spray paint, balaclava, brick and copy of the communist manifesto awaits!
