What a crock of sh1t. Even the BoE have been involved tinkering with the rate in 2008 (and maybe other times too possibly? ) There only statement about it thus far is to say... "Libor and other global benchmarks were not regulated in the UK or elsewhere during the period in question". Last week a high profile retrial acquitted 2 people from Barclays Bank accused of Libor rigging. Seems to me that financial wrongdoing was rife in the City in 2008 and probably still goes on at the highest levels unchecked.

How they can think that is a credible response is beyond me. If the BoE was complicit in impacting a rate which artificially irrespective of whether it was specifically regulated at that point it is incredibly serious. And Paul Tucker should be giving evidence to MPs at least and probably to the police to clarify.

Like the fraud of 'quantitative easing', intended to release money into the economy but instead gets parked up by the banks to shore up their otherwise threadbare balance sheets. The whole system is nothing more than an elaborate Ponzi scheme from beginning to end.

Given the importance of the financial sector (the City) to London and the UK, this could seriously undermine confidence in the UK for conducting financial business. It must be investigated and fixed ASAP. Following that, there must be a transparent statement (backed up with facts) on what went wrong and how it has been fixed. That is really all anyone cares about. Punish the wrongdoers, yes, but that is secondary to fixing the system.

Quite shocking, personally know of 20-30 multi million deals during the period where LIBOR + X% was used as an interest rate.

The entities are mostly defunct part of the reason for the deal but if any still exists I suggest that they should be speaking to their lawyers. Done over by some on here who stated "LIBOR did not matter", I suggest a closer look at those for sewing maibags.

All a bit cyclical but it is pretty easy to attribute much of the blame to the system. Which was definitely Tory created. And the lite-touch regulation that was in place was fought tooth-and-nail by the Tories whenever Labour did try and implement it. But they're all thieving ba$tards so it isn't really worth arguing the point too much.
