        @BBCBreaking Should be given to small investors who lost thousands when Lloyds merged with HBOS. Not only government who lost out.

        @BBCBreaking If death and taxes are certain, aren't taxpayers holding 100% of bank stock? Surely all equity is held by people who pay taxes.

        @BBCBreaking Flight MH370 - I feel one of the pilot must have taken the plan down. Investigator should check if one of them was in debt.
