I mean, do I have an opinion? I think if banks are making insane amount of profits, It's okay to tax them in a structured way, but you don't have to tax them to penalize them because economy only thrives if you're investing the money back into the economy, right? So taxing means what does, okay, if you make five billion pounds of extra tax from banks, what would the government do with it? Where would they put it? Would they put it in the NHS? you know, that's the question everybody's asking, right? So, I spoke to a private equity firm called BGF, British Growth Fund, you might know, and they are funded by the four largest banks, HSBC, Barclays, and so on.
