Royal Bank of Scotland

When will we see our cash again?

You needed a bailout

From every citizen

Your shares that’s trading

At £3.60

We bought at a fiver

So when, oh when?

 

Royal Bank of Scotland

Your sins are great and so well known

Mis-selling insurance

And crippling toxic loans

And all with our money

That went to the bailout

So when will you pay us?

So when, oh when?

 

You’ve lost 600

Million quid this year to date

You’ll need to find more for

Rigging the LIBOR rate

That’s when they’ll fine you

Another 250

(I don’t think we’ll see

Our brass again).

◄ Minor Sin

Happy Birthday, Glen ►

Yes Harry, my money is of great sentimental value to me too. I just can't bear to part with it.
(And you an old trade unionist yourself. We should be ashamed of ourselves!)

John,
`When will we see our cash again?`

I wish I could do one like this about my old Loyds shares (with the music)

They were of great sentimental value to me.

Hello MC,
Although I only consider myself "soft left" I must say I find it hard to justify lending customers money out of money lent to the bank by other customers (savers) and making profit on the difference. I do not see why any profit made should not be the taxpayers ie the process be nationalised. For one thing, like energy, it seems to me to be too strategic to leave in private hands.

I remember years ago, trying manfully to fund
a one-man business from my current account, how I
was taken to task for an unauthorised overdraft
of a few quid by some young assistant manager
of a bank where I had held an account for many
years. No award for customer devotion even then.
I wonder if that eager young money-grubber was
one of those who frittered away huge sums on
careless loans to big business in more recent times.
