We should boycott the banksters

We keep hearing: “But what can we (the ordinary people) do when government seems to be helplessness in bringing rogue bankers to book?”

We should boycott the banksters

Surely, the answer must be obvious? The solution is based on a simple question: “What would these people not want to happen, sufficient to make them willing to return their ill-gotten gains?” Imagine you are Shaunie Fitzpatrick or Fingers Fingleton or Drummer or one of the developers living high on the hog. What makes your life good? Driving your €200k car? Sailing your yacht? Lunch at the golf club/expensive restaurant? Probably all of these things.

Now, to have those things in your privileged life, it is necessary for ordinary people to serve you petrol and repair your cars and yacht, serve you food and drink in posh clubs and restaurants, reserve flights and foreign hotels for you, etc. Those ordinary people, with the support of their unions and the buying public, could refuse to serve these fraudsters and make their lives hardly worth living. All legally.
