CC: UK Tax payers Can Soon Buy Shares In Bank that Lost Its Soul @RealConstable @Ian_Fraser
Manage episode 407746634 series 3524017
Ian Fraser, author of "Shredded: Inside RBS, The Bank That Broke Britain," joins us for his CONSTABLE CONFIDENTIAL debut. We discuss what Fraser describes as a culture that lost its soul and never got it back, is soon to be sold back to the UK public after being bailed out by the British taxpayer. Fraser explains the bizarre logic behind this news and analyses some recent problems for the bank that has now changed its name to NatWest. We also point out that the Scottish economy shrank significantly in the last quarter of 2023, which Fraser says wasn't much covered by the Scottish press.
