Actually the UK govt guarantees £50k per financial institution, double for joint accounts:
Imagine if the banks did go bust. How long would it take to actually get your guaranteed £50k from the government?

In the UK with interest rates at 0.5%; a good chance that you are going to have to sign on; you are better off having your money in Swiss Francs in a Safe Deposit Box.

I would say there will be more runs on the banks later on in the year. The figures don't stack up to me.
