Now if you would be so kind as to highlight the references, in the original post, to tinfoil hats or chemtrails.

I'm waiting.

If the concept of analogy is foreign to you, then you're beyond any form of help that I would be qualified to provide.

What help can you provide? Other than the "analogy" between discontent with our monetary system, and chemtrails.

I wouldn't so dignify the OP as to equate their delusional paranoia with something as cogent as "discontent".

Banks are not government agencies but they do what government tell them either directly or via law and/or interpretation of law.

I knew it'd be this.

- This incident was nearly two years ago.
- Only HSBC was involved
- The policy was not that customer's HAD to prove why they were withdrawing funds, but that staff were allowed to ask for it if they felt it was suspicious.
- However, some staff misinterpreted this due to poor training.
- HSBC apologised and reverted matters.

So no, it's not every bank. One bank had a dumb policy that the staff misinterpreted. It was in effect for like six months before they decided it was dumb.

What about this then,this could happen in the UK. All it takes is for parliament to say it is so and it will be so..

No, because Cyprus was/is a country in extreme financial turmoil. This happened in March 2013, over two years ago. We certainly have our economic issues, but not in the same manner. It was also only 20% over 100,000 euros and 4% on deposits over 10,000.

And if our government imposed a 20% tax on deposits, it would be the government and not the banks. If the government does things you think are bad, you should fight by protesting and placing your votes elsewhere.

Yet most nations that allow it are not in poverty

Countries that don't usually are

Thats due to welfare, but once the population numbers become too high and the cost of it gets too extreme we will begin to see the true effects.

Welfare cost money we know this. So a country needs to make money so it can afford the bill

But still my point stands
