Boris Johnson: 'Attacking bankers will not aid economy'

Mayor of London Boris Johnson tells Jeremy Paxman that the fact that even the Business Secretary Vince Cable is making jokes about bankers reflects public rage.

But he says that attacking bankers will not help boost the UK economy, and in fact could damage it.

Watch the interview with Boris Johnson in full on Newsnight's Rich Night on Wednesday 2 February 2011 at 10.30pm on BBC Two, and then afterwards on the BBC iPlayer and Newsnight website.
