It heartens me that bosses appreciate that the workforce is the lifeblood of their small business but it absolutely sickens me that the banks have broken every promise about supporting these very same businesses as a condition of the bail-out. They should be made to pay back every single penny with interest to every taxpayer and small business that is suffering as a direct result of their greed.

What a load of bo------ks the banks are still holding the country to randsom, I was in business for 32 years
when times get tough is the the time for bank to make a killing,they want you shirt your home and any
other items of value and then charge you high interest rates. No wonder not many businesses make
it past the medium size ie.20 to 30 employees. I had some great people working for me they work
hard and had families support. it's brakes you heart to have to let them go.But what would a banker
know about that sat in a glass pile on wages sorry salary in the millions.

About time small business owners were recognized. They do so much for this country taking risks and putting everything on the line,

They make a mockery of the fat cat bankers or should I begin the word with w!! Banks have never helped small business they grab there money back first sign of anything going wrong. What sickens me is the employed bankers who deem to give the self employed advice having never done more than draw a monthly salary. Some of them might have a degree but they would not last 5 minutes in the small business world.

SMEs are what make the UK and always have.

were all in this together, where have I heard that before.
