Why?
Because with your command of English, it can't be your first language. Mine is far from perfect, being a cockney, still better than yours.
I hate the idea of the UK being in the EU. I also hate the idea of the UK joining any single EU currency.
Not perfect, just better.
Mafia Man. Bankers are generally cleverer than politicians, unless the bankers are politicians as well. They are meant to be not trusted. Therefore allowing them to lend money to people who don't have a chance of repaying it is the fault of regulators. Aesop knew this.

The Wolf And The Lamb
WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat him. He thus addressed him: "Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supper less, even though you refute every one of my imputations."
The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.

The Scorpion and the Frog is a fable about a scorpion asking a frog to carry him across a river. The frog is afraid of being stung during the trip, but the scorpion argues that if it stung the frog, the frog would sink and the scorpion would drown. The frog agrees and begins carrying the scorpion, but midway across the river the scorpion does indeed sting the frog, dooming them both. When asked why, the scorpion points out that this is its nature. The fable is used to illustrate the position that the behaviour of some creatures is irrepressible, no matter how they are treated and no matter what the consequences.

Never trust a villain. The fool who does, only has himself to blame. So is the fool at fault if he's running a country or voting for those who will. Or the banker for taking advantage?
Many here don't feel much remorse for misleading a surfer for $30. Where's the difference? Besides the amount.
