Come now Tank, I think your view lacks nuance here, just blindly blaming this nebulous and nefarious entity, known as "bankers" is neither correct, nor productive. At the end of the day, a small (very small) number of people sold some bad debt, which precipitated the whole thing, and I fully agree that those responsible, should be brought up for their unscrupulous business practices, but hating on the whole banking sector (which, contrary to popular belief, does a lot of important work) is not a mature way to approach the situation. You also forget the vast number of redundancies in London's financial district, it was a bloodbath there for a while.

Edit, Massive derail, whoops.

However I would contend that within the banking sector the people that suffered most were possibly the underlings?

I'm sorry, I couldn't tell you, but I know the job market was terrible for a while, in part because of all the experienced people now on the market.
