    It's pretty easy to emigrate to Bali but they won't give you any free stuff like health care, or school meals.

    It's outrageous.

    You fùcking mong. He saved UK banks from taking a tanking because he bailed them out and used our tax money and our national assets to do it. The banks had already took the tanking through their own greed and mismanagement.

    So Brown kept them afloat, he financed them.

    No banks should have been bailed out.

    They get round it by giving chicken shop workers fake contracts for £30k to their cousins/wives

    It's remarkable that cùnts in here are up in arms about 20 million quid of state aid to feed kids but think 80 billion quid of state aid to keep a bunch of spivs in a job is a good thing!

    I'm with you Aldo, banks are private businesses if they **** up let them go down in flames.
    Compensate the account holders up to a couple of hundred grand and write off all debts owed .

    And there's the rub my friend!

    The threshold for compensation at the time was 30 grand. A lot of very rich people were about to lose a lot of money.

    It would have cost the country a great deal less to let the banks die.

    A very attractive proposition on the surface of it. Unfortunately it would have created mayhem in financial markets and the spivs would still have coined it. Best not get involved in economics unless you have at least some knowledge of how it works.

    We know how it works mate , we pay interest to borrow money the bank never owned it's just digits on a screen and if you don't pay it back they take your property.

    The Iceland approach would have been favourable , lock them up

    And believe me they would have taken an awful lot of property. Short of electing Corbyn there is nothing you can do about it. ( I'm not recommending that btw)
