Barclays is 'truly sorry' over the LIBRO scandal?

Is that 'sorry they did it' or 'sorry they got caught'?

    All a load of Bankers.

    A quick "sorry" and a smirk all the way to the Millions.

    Considering that the scam netted them billions, the 500 million they forked over in fines is no big deal.

    What they are concerned of is the civil lawsuits with treble damages and the criminal cases with prison sentences for fraud.

    Which is why the Big Cheese - Mr Diamond, has already retained the first of what promises to be a whole slew of big time barristers.

    Since they can buy the best lawyers there are, and delay this thing for years and years, the chances of anyone really being sent to jail are vanishingly small.

    The rest is just money.

    Sorry? What's to be sorry about?

    It's just business!

    The trouble is, all these banks are never tramped on by the govt.in charge at the time.When Brown saved the banks the offer should have had tied strings attached,NO RIDICULOUS salaries NO SCANDALOUS bonus.The excuse is usually you have to pay for the right people but very often the big white chief is just a figurehead.I tend to think the BANKS & GOVT.are all in the same boat and nobody wants to sink it

    Sometimes, "Sorry", doesn't cut-it. Like the "sorry" that leaves pensioners without money that they've built up over 50 years of hard work and prudence; or the extortion of bank interest rates that lead people to their grave through suicide or stress; or the "unreservedly sorry" hospital that left a patient to die of thirst, suffering so badly that he called the police for help.

    They are very, very sorry that they got caught. We need the religions to give the people a break and start preaching to corporations.

    some, if not most or ALL corporate apologies are just fake or contrived for appearances sake. It makes the one apologizing appear civilized and "decent" and the victims dont get anything at all.

    So apologies are cheapskate public relations damage control stunts and you already KNOW that.

    That's OK then!

    I will say sorry when I welsh on my mortgage, I am sure I will get a sympathetic response-homeless.

    Sorry my foot, it means nothing to them, they should do to them what the Arabs do to their thieves and chop off their hands, they wouldn't steal again to fast.
