To tar all bankers with the same brush is absurd as is the outright condemnation of banks. They fulfil a vital role in providing liquid resources to expand businesses, build great enterprises and provide funding for governments. As with everything else in life excesses will arise from time to time and ways must be found to curb these and prevent, in as far as one can, further excesses. The most dangerous group in the community are those who when they see something go wrong condemn the whole of the enterprise and those engaged in it outright and thus provide a platform for extremists.
