What RBS's results say about QE 4:44pm on 24 Aug 2009 BBC Breaking News!!

"Recession in Britain 'at an end' Confidence among British business professionals sees the biggest rise for two years, suggesting the recession is over!!"

The Great and the The Good:
'The bells of wealth will ring-a-ring-a-ling!!'

The Poor and dispossessed:
'For you but not for me..'

The Great and the The Good:
The bells of wealth will ring-a-ring-a-ling!!'

and so on..

(to accompaniment of tinkling champagne glasses, for those who can afford it)

Ho hum.

Blank to quit Lloyds 1:37pm on 22 Aug 2009 Yeah it's hard on the old boy. My wife lost her job the other day too.

What RBS's results say about QE 3:54pm on 13 Aug 2009 "The Bank of England has warned that the UK economy still has some way to go before it recovers from the effects of the financial crisis2

It winds me up a treat how the BOE talks so blithely about recovery. Recovery - in any sense you care to name - will only come from a Herculean effort by already tired and overstretched taxpayers (us) working our 'fingers to the bone' - as the Guvt lifts ever more tax from us to pay for something we didn't cause or even care about - the banking crisis. Why?

What RBS's results say about QE 3:57pm on 07 Aug 2009 Masterly (PC) understatement by the BBC:

Personal insolvency at new record

should read

Personal insolvency at SHAMEFUL new LEVEL

QE: More to do? 11:28am on 07 Aug 2009 Doesn't exactly take brains to PRINT money do it? MAKE it? Someone should tell them how money_is_made.

What RBS's results say about QE 11:25am on 07 Aug 2009 .. are we talking long or short scale £ billions here?

If long scale why not just give everyone a million? More chance of economic recovery than anything this useless Guvt are ever likely to do..

What was HBOS doing? 1:57pm on 06 Aug 2009 #296 - "If we can find a real winner as PM then we can move forward. One thing is for sure - he or she wont have been a banker"

Right on. Or a former Chancellor (hopefully)...

What was HBOS doing? 12:18pm on 06 Aug 2009 I've been on Mars for the last 12 months so all this banking stuff is news to me - it's marvellous to have Robert Peston reporting daily just on the banks!!

How are all the other businesses that depend on the banks doing?

Rock: Crumbling less 2:16pm on 04 Aug 2009 Another groundbreaking banking story from Comrade Peston at the Banking Broadcasting Commission, Republicj of Wasteminster.

Are banks doing enough for us? 4:27pm on 03 Aug 2009 "So are the banks providing enough credit to hard-pressed businesses and households, such that the permanent damage to the economy from the recession isn't too severe?"

Credit to 'hard-pressed businesses' - the directors of same scared stiff the banks will foreclose if they can't make that money pay!

Yup, and taxpayers' reward is they are allowed to borrow from the banks. And having gotten us into this mess (G Brown, some banks) it is now beholden on us that run businesses to haul the UK out of recession without so much as a 'by your leave'. What cheek!

Do Brown and his Treasury THEMSELVES have any ideas to make money or will it still fall 'Keynesian style' form the trees?? Presumably it will continue to fall from the trees which is why 'hard pressed business and households' will face BIGGER tax bills in the years to come! Now, where is my brown envelope..?

Nothing is what it seems! Life is good! Is this stuff straight out of 1984? Or like something dreamed up by head of Germany's WWII Propaganda Ministry?

Another groundbreaking report from Comrade Peston, Banking Broadcasting Commission, Republicj of Westminster.
