Defaulting banks - where will it stop?

[Jan Klimkowski]

ATMs not giving people their own cash?

I wonder what would have happened. :dancing2:

UK was hours from bank shutdown
FSA ready to close cash machines during crisis

Had the ATMs closed down riots would've followed Brit style, by the liberal chucking of handfuls of custard creams at bank executives amidst booing and slow hand-clapping. Having exorcised their demons it would've been home for a cuppa and months of moaning and bitching.

The bankers would still have been paid their massive bonuses for failure in what remained of the pound sterling.

The politicians would opine: "we have to continue paying them huge salaries and bonuses because otherwise these bankers, who are the engines of growth of our modern economy, would leave Britain and go elsewhere."

Any mere mortal suggesting that this was complete bolllocks would be accused of paranoia and of being a conspiracy theorist. They would be despatched for corrective surgery to destroy their damaged temporal lobes, after which the fascist neuropsychiatrists hoped they would be fit to take their place as responsible and compliant members of the C21st global economy.

:burnout::burnout::burnout:

Of course once the rozzers are also unable to get their cash out of ATMs, and start getting cheesed off, the elites do have a bit of a problem with keeping control.

Cue Wildcard.

An emergency demanding a draconian national security response.

Or a false flag epiphany with the same practical consequences.
