<strong>Analysis: </strong> The blame game over the banking crisis is in overdrive with the former heads of Royal Bank of Scotland and HBOS in the dock this week2009-02-13T08:51:43ZThey were still in denial, all the way to the precipice

It's nearly four years since he was sacked by Sir James Crosby and for much of that time his claims, that he had been pushed out because of his warnings about the risks that HBOS was running, were ignored. Even last year, as the banks were sliding into the mire, his protests on the BBC did not gain much traction.2009-02-12T08:30:24ZRolls-Royce a role model for Rio
