Oh, maybe you can explain this one, why did people find it so objectionable that councils put their budget into banks in order to get a better return on our money? It'd be madness to have it sat around gaining no interest so they used short-term savings accounts, but when people hear about it they act like it's the end of the world... "Why are the council saving MY money?" it's ridiculous...
