Independence versus balance - Sean O Grady or Stephanie Flanders?
In response to the Supreme Court's crafty legal legerdemain on bank charges, I present two contrasting opinions.
In the blue corner, the Independent's economics editor Sean O Grady pens an unexpected paean to that haven of free market capitalism, the UK consumer banking system:

And in the mauve corner, the BBC economics editor Stephanie Flanders takes a slightly more considered view:

Am I the only who suspects that this ruling will only temporarily silence the "end of free banking" rhetoric chanted by the evil bloodsucking fat ugly leeches who commandeered & destroyed our once friendly neighbourhood banks?
Oops, did I say that? I guess I must be more influenced by Mr O Grady's brand of considered comment than that of Ms Flanders.
