>Banks get a holiday whilst making a profit despite not being open at reasonable hours during the normal working week. Why should banks get a holiday when they do fuck all?
It's a holiday from paying interest. That is the origin of the banking holiday. Just another freebie to banks that were teetering on the edge of bankruptcy back when banking was suffering from self inflicted fractional reserve fraud during the Victorian age. It's only a holiday for us plebs because everything else is shut if the banks are shut.
