About 5 months late, isn't it?

The Bank of England knew Northern Rock was technically insolvent some time in August. There should have been an intervention by the Central Bank back then, together with a deposit guarantee by the Treasury and a forensic accounting investigation by the FSA as banking regulator. 5 months ago.

Bah.
