There are three websites which I monitor for coverage of the crisis –

and

this one. So my thanks to Ann for this commentary.

Thanks Martin and John….Just seen some numbers which show that while bank lending had increased year on year,

lending to corporations and households has fallen…in other words lending to ‘other financial institutions’ (i.e. hedge funds etc.) has risen

dramatically, but lending to the non-financial, productive sector and to households is contracting….So banks having caused this crisis, are now

exacerbating it….Hrrmph….
