When banks brought down the global economy in 2007/08, Iceland jailed the bankers responsible.

In Britain meanwhile, taxpayers gave our bankers getting on for £200 billion to be paid for by cutting spending on police, armed forces and the benefits of disabled people.

We also commissioned a report into multiple scandals committed at HBOS bank that has taken seven years of writing.

The report came out this week. It's damning and 'convicts' the bosses responsible - but will anything happen to them?

Probably not.

HBOS is the abbreviated cover for Halifax, Bank of Scotland, Lloyds and scandal.

This is Money's Rachel Rickard Straus and Lee Boyce despair as they pore of over the revelations in the report.
