I hope we get something like this happening in the UK sometime soon.

Really? You WANT to see weeks of civil unrest and the government firing on protestors, deaths running into the thousands and the infrastructure being so damaged it will take months if not years to fix? Why not just hope for something like Tunisia or Egypt? Or then again, why not just realise that we al;ready have what these people don't and if public opinion wanted it enough the government would be changed? Yes I do want to see all that, will some cherries on top.
This place is turning into a croc of **** it needs a serious shake up. We bail out a bank who then give themselves 6,500,000 bonuses while we have to tighten our belts and lose jobs, paying the people who caused the mess in the first place and let them walk on water, walk all over us. Take it by storm, our government fails. I can list all sorts of other reasons but that means writing a full on SA and I only do that if I'm going to get a grade for it or I'm being paid.
I so hope something happens like this. I know I will probably lose Internet Connection while all goes to hell but that's ok, I still got my surfing.
I assume that you're referring to the figure recently announced for Barclays? They didn't receive any help or bailout from the government; though I agree that the bankers are utterly arrogant and corrupt and need to be regulated severely in these times. If the government fails - and if that is truly the feeling of the majority - then they will be voted out. No need for thousands of lives to be needlessly lost and to put the country in a state that it will take years to recover from.
