So pay us the money your ****ing banks owe us, then.
Actually I think they are.

Not even possible.

Actually they are.

Our Kent County Councillor, at our annual parish mtg the other day, said
they and Canterbury City Council were expecting to get it all back.

That may be true for them, but it isnt even possible for all depositors.

All depositors have been paid by the UK scheme and the former
Icelandic banks are paying them back.

The banks have been allowed to go bust.

Yes they have but they had a lot of assets that have been allowed to
mature before being sold off at a high price.
Ever heard of a chain of stores called Iceland?
