Secret: Bank of England boss Mervyn King suggested action was needed on banks six months before Gordon Brown揭秘：英國央行行長默文金提出銀行需要的行動，在白高敦前六個月
Mervyn King plotted a secret bailout of the banking system six months before Gordon Brown decided to take action.
默文金籌劃一項銀行體系的秘密救助，在白高敦決定採取行動六個月前。
The Bank of England governor told U.S. officials in March 2008 that ‘a co-ordinated effort to possibly recapitalise the global banking system’ was needed to save it from collapse, according to documents released by WikiLeaks.
英格蘭銀行行長在2008年3月告訴美國官員，一項協調的努力可能對全球銀行系統作資本重組，是有需要的以拯救它免於崩潰，根據維基解密文件公佈。
Mr Brown did not come up with his master plan to tackle the financial crisis until September 2008 following the collapse of U.S. investment bank Lehman Brothers.
白先生並沒有拿出他的總體規劃去應對金融危機，直到2008年9月隨著美國投資銀行雷曼兄弟公司倒閉後。
The delay raises a major question over his claims that he was the brains behind the bailout and had ‘saved the world’.
The leaked U.S. embassy cables show the Bank governor told American officials action was needed to shore up the banks six months before the financial crisis reached its peak.
Mr King said Britain and America and other developed countries should override the ‘dysfunctional’ G7 and orchestrate a multi-billion pound bailout for global banks.
RBS and Lloyds were later rescued by the Government.
British taxpayers stumped up around £1trillion in loans and other guarantees to shore up the banking system.
