        @BBCBreaking @BBCBusiness can you report on why we're not seeing prison for those responsible? Can you complete the picture?

        @BBCBreaking Those responsible should go to prison. Bankers are responsible for inflicting severe pain & death on poor.

        @BBCBreaking Didn't J Key work in foreign exchange? He seems to have imported the dodgy culture to his PM's office.

        @Bravo_Lfc @BBCBreaking That's what I always wonder. It's like when utility co's get fined for rip off prices-doesn't help customers losses.

        @press_not_sorry @BBCBreaking I wonder though could we actually get clarity on it and see is it actually paid and how are the payments made

        @Bravo_Lfc @BBCBreaking Yes, would be interesting to know. Sounds like Barclays are trying to have the figure reduced.

        @press_not_sorry @BBCBreaking genuinely nothing would surprise me as to how low they will stoop and probably get away with also. Sickening.

        @BBCBreaking guess best cut the front line services some more to pay for the fine then.
