We don’t have the power to regulate offshore banks. If you would like more regulating in the banking sector, then it is up to the British public to vote in a party that has more regulation in their manifesto. Currently, we have a government that is pro-business, and so that involves less regulation. t’s not our role to tell the politicians how to run the country – the people have voted in this government and we are accountable to the people. If the people want an alternative economic system they must vote in a party that also wants this and then we will do it.

Where would offshore banking be? Bear in mind that, with the G20 absent, everything would be offshore banking!

Well, people need to understand that [offshore] banking has changed compared to what it was 15-20 years ago. It’s a lot more strict and stern, a lot more regulated.If you want to open an offshore bank account [in the Cayman islands], you either have to be a worker in the islands or have some property.
