No more bank bailouts - allow reckless banks to fail

Petition Details

In 2008, due to their reckless gambling with speculative financial products using money they did not actually have, the banks precipitated a worldwide economic crisis. The banks received over £100billion of public money in bailouts and loans to try and prevent them from collapsing completely.

Additional Information

Since 2008, banking practices and culture have not changed enough to prevent a re-occurrence. The burden of saving the banks has fallen mostly on taxpayers, rather than those responsible for the crash. We cannot, as a nation, allow this to happen again. If banks cause another crash, they should be allowed to fail, and not receive another bailout. The government has refused to bail out non-banking industries that provide many jobs (most recently, steel), so they should treat banks the same.
