Britain is paying a "horrific price" for allowing bankers to dictate the credit policy in the UK, according to a leading commentator.Writing for the Guardian, journalist and author Simon Jenkins, who has edited the Times and the London Evening Standard among other credentials, said that the government has been at the beck and call of bankers since the financial collapse in 2008.He compared the chancellor Alistair Darling to a "puppet on a string" for administering such high-value financial support."He never spent such money on indebted homeowners or indebted manufacturers or indebted African states," he commented."He did it to banks because they told him they were too big to fail. Advised by bankers, surrounded by bankers, obsessed with bankers, Darling paid."He also called for greater accountability from the banks, stating that the public have a right to know where the billions of pounds of taxpayer money has been negotiated.Mr Jenkins's comments come after the taxpayer-funded Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and Lloyds Banking Group (LBG) reported a combined loss for 2009 of almost £10 billion.If you would like to make a credit card charges claim to get back all your late payment / over limit fees in the last 6 years from RBS or LBG then fill out the Quick Claim or call Belmont Thornton on 0845 526 0000.
