Hopefully your close relatives made the mistake of working for a bank and will soon experience what the Greek bankers experienced: <F**k the UK bankers. The government should just pass appropriate legislation, shoot them all, and melt their body fats down for soap. Commodities can be bartered. >

With barbarians like that on the loose, do you think people with money are going to be keen to help:

ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- Rioting over harsh austerity measures left three people dead in a torched Athens bank and clouds of tear gas drifting past parliament, in an outburst of anger that underlined the long and difficult struggle Greece faces to stick with painful cutbacks that come with an international bailout.
The deaths were the first during a protest in Greece in nearly 20 years.
Fear that the bailout won't stop the debt crisis from spreading to other financially troubled EU countries like Portugal and Spain intensified amid the violence Wednesday, as credit ratings agency Moody's put Portugal on watch for a possible downgrade.
The euro sank, dipping below $1.29 for the first time in over a year, on fears of crisis contagion and concerns that political upheaval might keep Greece from keeping its end of the bailout bargain.

You will find that things will get very much worse with attitudes like yours and theirs, and those who will suffer the most will, as usual, be those at the bottom of the heap.
Perhaps somebody you know borrowed too much money and is now in trouble. They should blame themselves, not their creditors [who no doubt have enough problems dealing with deadbeats].
The financial institutions which did a bad job are now out of business, the shareholders lost their money and many employees are looking for new jobs. That's the normal punishment in business for failing to do a good and profitable job.
