How’s this for your morning dose of fire and brimstone?
Faced with the challenge of selling a bank merger as front-page news to people who leave comments like these, the British papers inform us:
BANK IS BLOWN AWAY - Telegraph
THE TRUE COST OF SAVING THE HALIFAX – Daily Mail
MASS EXIT: 40,000 face axe, including Howard – Sun
GREEDY PIG: Fund chief’s millions from HBOS misery – Daily Mirror
FEAR STALKS THE BANKS – Times
SPIVS FORCED BANKS MERGER – Metro
HALIFAX ‘SAVED’ 40,000 JOBS TO GO – Daily Express
FT Alphaville notes that the Daily Star has not even attempted to put a bank story on its front page (the only newspaper to not do so this morning), preferring instead to lead with: GAZZA HAS BOTTLE OF WHISKEY… FOR BREKKIE.
Phew. And we thought we had real problems.
