Mervyn King, the governor of the Bank of England, has just gone on record as saying that UK banks put profits before the customer and that too many of  them have made money from the gullible and unsuspecting. We are told that these institutions must pay enormous bonuses to prevent the top performers from taking their special talents abroad. Given Mervyn’s view, wouldn’t that be desirable?
