I don't think so. Not since the 80's anyway.
British banks are all controlled by overseas interests nowadays.

Overseas control mirrors our diet, hijacked by foreign interests, prioritizing profit over ancestral nutrition.
HSBC, owned by the Chinese, and Barclays, beholden to Qatar, dictate Britain's financial fate, a testament to the City's utter surrender to globalist interests.
In fairness the 'British' have been controlled by overseas interests since the Glorious Revolution when the Dutch East India company moved in (and the Bank of England was founded).
But London has been and still in many ways is a hub of operation.
And yea a lot of the Dutch power traces back to the Venetian banking families. Likely back further there to Roman powered interests though getting receipts there is hard.
Once Parliamentary power and then democratic systems were moved to it became much easier to just control everyone. I guess call it the FIC if you must, but even til just a few years ago the dollar monetary policy on earth was determined by the London Interbank Offer Rate.
They have been defanged a little since SOFR but they're not giving up without a fight.
That's completely wrong. Britain has never been controlled or influenced by the Dutch East India company. The Dutch East India company was a disorganised corrupt and mutinous calamity.
You're correct here. While the Dutch did gain a good amount of political control through William of Orange (and the establishment of parliamentary supremacy) my history was lacking on these companies. Didn't realize the British East India company had already been so established separately.
I am admittedly looking less at the actions of institutions and more at the flows of wealth (and power through it).
I do happen to know the Warburg family sort of followed this path of Venice to Holland and then through England helping establish the Fed. But yes, the VOC was a stray on my part. Thanks for the correction.
That said I will be looking more into its major shareholders as I suspect we'll find some familiar faces among the British East India company and elsewhere.
