That is a complete riot. It's good to see the Man get a little comeuppance every so often.

I wonder if this could be pulled off in the States.

He only got to send the cops in because they didn't show for their own hearing. Could that happen in the US? I don't see why not.

UK banks seem to be particularly irresponsible in a lot of different ways, whether lending money or charging fees; they are out of control. Not all of them, but as a general rule, they're crooks.

To do that in the US, you would have to make sure you win a court case against a bank...

I heard something like this on the news. I think Canadian government's gonna attempt to ban withdrawal fees for cash withdrawals, possibly including withdrawals on competitor's ATMs. I could also have mistaken the purpose of the news story.
