Diamond's daughter is on the Twitter, and irony, offensive

No one in the world I admire more than my dad. 16yrs building Barclays. Shame to see the mistakes of few tarnish the hard work of so many.

Re: Libor, UK banks and the Tory connections
Guardian update from a couple of hours back:
Barclays has dragged the Bank of England, and the last Labour government, deeper into the Libor scandal.
Its submission to the Treasury Select Committee includes an email apparently written by Bob Diamond on 29 October 2008 (when the crisis was raging), following a telephone call with Paul Tucker of the Bank of England. In the message, Diamond writes that Tucker told him that "a number of senior officials in Whitehall" had expressed concern over the Libor numbers that Barclays had been reported (the rate at which other banks would lend to it).
http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2...clays#block-56The email goes on to show that Diamond implied that other banks have been submitting rates that did not reflect their true cost of borrowing, and concludes by suggesting that Tucker had suggested that Barclays Libor submissions did not need to be so high.
They go on to remark that "This is dynamite" while noting that the BOE hadn't yet (at 4.32 p.m.) had time to respond.

Re: Libor, UK banks and the Tory connections
Like
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/n...ndal-live.htmlA flashmob has descended on one of Barclays' London branches, with members withdrawing their money en masse.
The flashmob has been organised via Twitter and Facebook by the "Move Your Money UK" organisation, which is calling on Brits to abandon the big high street banks in favour of more "ethical" alternatives such as credit unions, building societies and the Co-op.

Hmmm, people who can drop everything to respond to a twitter campaign...
Will Barclays be able to cope with a run on funds that could reach 4 figures?

Re: Libor, UK banks and the Tory connections
Cammy baby blaming too much regulation
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/n...ndal-live.htmlDavid Cameron at PMQs: Got to get to bottom of what happened [on Libor]. But going back to square one [too much regulation] would be a mistake. Banking scandal is appalling. People want to know crime in our banks will be pursued and punished like crime on our streets. I want us to legislate on this, starting next year."
