Wat een nare mensen zijn er toch, zoals bovenstaande reacties op dit artikel. Een garantie van een overheid moet nagekomen worden, dat licht ter gondslag aan onze (westerse) samenleving. Als de IJslandse overheid zich hier niet aan wenst te houden, dan moet de nederlandse staat maatregelen nemen, en de tegoeden garanderen. Zie ook de volgende mededeling op de site van de Engelse overheid:

1. Acting on the advice of the Bank and Financial Services Authority (FSA), and in light of announcements made by the Icelandic authorities in recent days, the Chancellor has taken action today to protect the retail depositors in two Icelandic owned banks: Icesave, a UK-based branch of Landsbanki and Heritable, a UK-based banking subsidiary of Landsbanki. He has taken this action to ensure the stability of the UK financial system. Savers’ money is safe and secure.
Landsbanki/Icesave
2. The UK authorities expect that Landsbanki will soon be declared in default. Should that occur, the Chancellor has put in place arrangements to ensure that no retail depositor will lose any money as a result of the closure of Icesave. The Treasury and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme are working with the Icelandic authorities and their Deposit Insurance Scheme to ensure that depositors are paid back as quickly as possible. The Chancellor has also spoken to the Icelandic Finance Minister about the importance of the Icelandic authorities ensuring that UK depositors in Icesave are given the same protections as depositors in Iceland and receive their deposits back in full promptly.
