I recoded this interview on Friday with Crispin Flintoff of the ‘Not the Andrew Marr Show', which he puts out on Sunday. Nothing has changed since then. We are living in a world of increasing financial threats.

Excellent broad ranging piece.
You know I don’t buy into changes you predict for Banking… mainly because I think there are easier, more politically acceptable changes that will keep the “show on the road”. However, in all other regards I think you summed it up well.
But sorry Richard, the inner nerdish nit picker in be is coming out. UBS is not “Union Bank of Switzerland”; after its merger/takeover of Swiss Banking Corporation it retained the acronym UBS but it stood for United Bank of Switzerland. May I now suggest after the “merger” with CS we call it Ubiquitous Bank of Switzerland?

Privatising profits, socialising losses. Applies to banking, energy, ………..just about everything.
Good interview, good explanations.
Thanks
Seems to me you’ve found the format for video content. Perhaps you should do a weekly interview with Crispin on the prescient issues of the week. I would have thought it would be mutually beneficial as Crispin’s show is providing a useful forum for left discussion, debate and activism and critique of Labour’s current direction.
