Goodwin's tax break 3:32pm on 17 Mar 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7947844.stm

So is it 2.7 or 3 Million Robert
Goodwin's tax break 3:30pm on 17 Mar 2009 "I remain slightly puzzled by why Lord Myners - who's probably the least naïve business person I know and who was advised by Slaughter at the time - didn't investigate more deeply the terms of Sir Fred's departure, before it was too late to change them."

Because he along with the department he works for is not fit for purpose Robert. Its hardly rocket science
Trident debate reopens 1:16pm on 17 Mar 2009 What a load of hogwash.

This has nothing to do with arms reduction and everything to do with Britain being Broke.

The USSR did the same thing as the union fell bankrupt and unable to keep up with the USA arms spend
Nothing should be taken for granted 09:58am on 17 Mar 2009 @85 doggz

"So Brown finally states that he takes full responsibility for the economic crash. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. So why hasn't he resigned then?"

No he didnt what he said was "i accept responsibility for my actions but it wasnt those actions that had any bearing on the situation whatsoever, Its a global crisis mate, not me gov, my actions were all ok!"
Nothing should be taken for granted 09:54am on 17 Mar 2009 IF Camerons so bad and Brown is so good for the BBC, Why are you Journo's going on strike over redundancies.

Lets face it why do we need Peston when we have steph flanders. Why do we need Nick when we can read Mandelson
The Goldman infallibility myth 10:09am on 16 Mar 2009 I think you are looking at this from the wrong perspective Robert.

AIG insured deals for the banks.
But they charged too little to do so hence when they had to pay out they were short of cash.

I am worried that Barclays havent had a payout, does this mean that they havent insured their risks adequately and are in much deeper doo doo than the ones that did insure in good faith.

It is prudent to insure your deals, All the banks mentioned did so with a supposedly AAA rated agency, and they did so in good faith expecting AIG to be managing the risks, the ratings agencies said they were.

Now where are Barclays in all this? are they insured with another provider? Is this other provider too big to fail? If not what happens to Barclays when their insurer fails?
Caption Competition 3:19pm on 12 Mar 2009 Oh yeah you were the boring one that was Monica's Brother, I think I remember you
Caption Competition 3:17pm on 12 Mar 2009 I was the paeleantologist in Friends you know
Caption Competition 3:06pm on 12 Mar 2009 No, Honestly I am David Schwimmer the zipper got stuck after Madagasscar II and they locked me up in here
What they're not telling you 11:20am on 12 Mar 2009 Suggestions that the UK should continue giving millions of pounds in aid to China until 2015 have come under fire from the Conservatives.

The Commons International Development Committee says that despite China's economic growth, it still suffers substantial poverty.

In which case let them spend some of their cash reserves helping their own people and let us keep our aid money to help ours.
