The 46-year-old former footballer recommended a run on the cash reserves of the world's banks during a newspaper interview that was also filmed. The interview has become a YouTube hit and has spawned a new political movement.

This from a man who probably has more money now than I'll earn in my lifetime. Frenchist hypocrite.

Thinking about this more - it’s not a case of just turning up and taking our your cash. Banks could control this. What you would have to do is turn up and close all your accounts - which would permanently reduce the capital assets of that bank.

yes but what the government would do then is make it next to impossible to get paid in cash instead or still bail out the banks at the tax payers expense.
