Andy and his little gang of bearded apes have made it clear that they intend to patrol the streets of London enforcing Sharia and preventing people going about their lawful business. I'll be interested to see how that works out for them.

And that's just the women. (Pat Condell)

Only institutions that go about the old-fashioned business of taking in deposits from customer A and lending them out to customer B should be called banks.
