More humiliation for bankers
The very British show trial that is the of the universe (aka the people who used to run our banks) continues in print and on the airwaves, with attention now focusing on James Crosby, once boss of HBOS, now adviser to Gordon Brown.
A former senior employee, , claims that the bank was taking too much risk. Moore says he was sacked for sounding the alarm and replaced by someone less experienced in risk management (HBOS denies the allegations).
The claims are given political piquancy by the fact that Crosby is now deputy chairman of the banking regulator (), a key advisor to the Treasury and someone on whom the PM has regularly relied on for advice. 
The Conservatives are demanding an investigation into Crosby's role in the banking crisis, naturally hoping that any dirt will stick to Gordon Brown as well as Crosby.
