Don, it's a condition of a rescue package, and apparently proposed by the fat-arsed German hausfrau and her acolytes because they're afraid of repercussions from German voters who have a perception that Cypriot banks have been laundering Russian money.

Richard, I'm not concerned with rich people outside Cyorus who have tried to take advantage of banks in Cyprus. My concern is for the ordinary people of Cyprus, and British nationals who live there.

However you look at it, it's a shitty way to treat people who weren't responsible for the mess the wanker-bankers have got themselves into. Even a Tory surely must concede that?
