The UK government nationalised RBS and thus far RBS does not seem to be particularly badly run or more bureaucratic when compared to other banks, so I'm not sure there's any real evidence for this statement.
In fact the UK government is expected to make a tidy profit when it privatises RBS again.

- JetSetWilly 12y agoThe government hasn't told me anything about RBS. I am very familiar with it as a customer (before and after nationalisation) and know several people who work for it though, so your ideologically-driven snark doesn't really hit its target.
