Our banks 'have to lend more' 11:37pm on 06 Jan 2009 I am about to break my New Year's resolution of not posting comments on RP's blog ever again but having read the posts on the last 3 blogs, the mindless repetitious diatribe which will go on for ever (like Groundhog Day) has changed my mind, although only this once. Since R.P's blog spawns these egotistical posters the only way to kick my habit is to stop reading the blog and this is now a slam dunk.

In the previous 10 years to the 10 you mentioned was Debt to GDP ever below 40%?

Five-year taxpayer help for banks 8:35pm on 16 Dec 2008 Would contributors please read the comments after reading the blog then post their comments as otherwise they become anal repetitive like today. It would also help to understand the comments better if the spelling improved.

For your info there is a university in the UK that runs its fleet of vehicles on hydrogen.in a pilot scheme.
Why do you say hydrogen is as expensive as petrol?

"pure unadulterated fact"
Apart from the extraneous use of 'pure' you made a lot of statements which you then presented as facts.
If we take 'house prices to fall by 40%'you are at variance with Barclays who are forecasting a further drop of15% on top of the 15% already lost making a total of 30%.
Another lender ( can't remember the name) came out with figure of a further 10% through to 2009.
Can you name your source to back up your figure?

'Nothing whatsoever to do with internal German politics'
If you believe this you are so naive, the German Grand Coalition is made up of three parties SPD/CDU/ CSU and there is an election looming with every politician positioning themselves.
Germany is in protectionist mode at the moment with one in seven workers dependent on the car industry a 500m Euro guarantee has been given to Opel, fighting new EU laws curbing car emissions and opposing the climate change package. Germany has of course suffered the rampant inflation of the 1920s and are very defensive with Merkel seeking closer ties with Russia to ensure they have sufficient oil to keep their industry engine supplied when the upturn comes.Goose stepping is on the way back?
