Two more reasons to avoid banks

It's hard to think of a legal industry that has a worse reputation among the general public than banking, except maybe the arms trade. The banks, especially The Royal Bank of Scotland and HBOS, brought this upon themselves after the government bailed them out in 2008-09 to stop them from collapsing the financial system.

What has really upset most people is that having received loads of bailout money from the taxpayer, most of which went to pay their creditors, they continued to pay big bonuses to the same people who bore some responsibility for this disaster.
