Half a percent offinterest rates immediately!

smug git.

Sorry ~ but I have no credit cards, I have no overdraft, I have no credit accounts. My mortgage is fixed for its lifetime. So a change in interest rates will make no immediate impact on me. It may ultimately make some things dearer or cheaper but I don't see it making much difference to the economic woes of the moment.

They always do that... a complete waste of time and money the whole charade is... cussing:

I have 2 questions about this whole plan:
Firstly how much is it going to cost the taxpayer in added taxes?
And secondly, after this was revealed. How can the government justify gambling with billions of pounds of taxpayers money without even making sure that people who are in part responsible for this fiasco have been replaced.
The Royal Bank of Scotland has said it will not be overhauling its management in return for getting potentially huge sums in public funding. The bank, whose senior executives have been criticised for running up big losses in the past year, said management changes were not "a feature" of its discussions with the Treasury. Earlier, Alistair Darling said changes at RBS were not a precondition of it receiving public money and management issues were a matter for the firm's board and shareholders only

I am also incompetent.Where do I get my application form for Treasury assistance?
Of course, they are SCOTTISH. Silly me

The whole PMQ thing winds me up to piss evaporation point! cussing:
Half an hour of the comedy channel featuring 266 of the best paid squeezed into the commons for a pathetic display of 'hear hearing' and booing.
And what did they all do after - piss off back to the bar I expect to drink their subsidised booze and ignore no smoking rules that they have enforced on the proles.
Shame on them!
They should all fuck off back to their constituencies and do something useful for once - like picking up rubbish, sweeping the streets or ideally topping themselves.
What a completely useless bunch of c- censored:

The problem is that there is bugger all difference in the political parties now so question time is meaningless apart from those rare occaisions when ain opposition MP has a question about something that directly affects their chances of keeping their seat.
-
626 actually ~ I can see you are annoyed.
But for mind-numbing boredom did you listen to the "Contenders" for US President last night? Now that was an exercise in sheer bulls hit if ever I heard one. Couldn't sleep which was why I was listening on BBC World Service, couldn't sleep afterwards thinking about the depths to which "democracy" has sunk. noooo:

Precisely...
That's why they should all go back to their constituencies and top themselves! Bastards! cussing:

One suggestion that was made on the BBC site was to use the £50bn taxpayers money to pay off everyone's mortgages instead of paying the banking fat cats. Then a new banking system could be devised with a clean slate. rubschin:
-
The sum involved seems to be £250 billion. Made up of the £50b to shore up the lenders' finances and the other £200b to support the Bank of England's efforts to "stabilise" matters.

Excellent idea... I shall rush out and get a mortgage... whistle:

Question is ~ where is the money coming from. This is the government that had to borrow £2.5 billion to pay for the 10pence tax cock up.
They don't have the money ~ they plan to borrow it against security of ................. future tax revenues. Genius!

The government is about the only institiution(?) that is good for any borrowing at the moment. Also there is no one else who would be prepared to lend to the banks for recapitalisation.
I see little choice in the matter.

I'll agree with you there, the buggers should all be institutionalised. cussing:

Exactly and the only security they have to offer are our future taxes.

This seems a good time to trot out a Stephen Fry quote
