Separate the banks - further support

Support for reform of the banking system by separating 'casino' type banking from retail banking continues to grow.

Writing in today's Observer, Will Hutton argues that Bank of England Governor Mervyn King is right. Some combination of separation and better regulation is required, he says.

More echoes of the Christian Socialist Movement's campaign to separate the banks, focused around an Early Day Motion tabled in the House of Commons.
