Shat it as they knew what ever the answer would be would mean 10s of millions to pay for maintaining sterling or starting a new currency ... plus the debt to be paid to rUK plus numerous other costs in set up
Paul! Thousands, tens of thousands, nae hundreds of thousands did lose their jobs and homes during the crash. Lots of businesses did go bust as well. So who was it that benefitted from the bank bailout apart from the bankers who caused the shìtshow in the first place? Not one cùnt that's who! Instead of plowing 100 billion quid + into propping up these fùckers and Gordon Brown having a fire sale of our national assets the government could have guaranteed every bank account in Britain up to 100 000 quid, let the banks die and would have saved a fortune. The only reason the banks were bailed out was because very rich people were going to lose a lot of money if they weren't. The same people who probably bought most of the shares in RBS that were recently sold off by the state at a bargain basement price.
