Bank reform: The radical way 05:42am on 28 Oct 2009 #222

What is morally (abnd legally) wrong is the manner in which these bonuses were achieved.

Bankers were entitled to bonuses because certain targets were achieved. (At the expense of others such as solvency or liquidity).

They are now entitled to further bonuses because they were able to persuade the government to bail out their banks. (With the threat of turning off their ATM machines and other actions which would cause economic meltdown).

The government has retained a stake. No doubt when the government is persuaded to write off its stake, the bankers will get another bonus. (At our expense).

All the above actions are tinged with illegality, but no action will be taken.

Just like Iraq, just like MPs expenses, just like giving up the nation's sovereignty to the EU.

Making money out of crime is what our leaders are good at. Our country is run by crooks.

Why them and not us? 08:01am on 25 Oct 2009 #135

"the mismanagement of the economy and of social trends which risk crippling the UK's future."

They have crippled the future already, and the present as well.

#136

"Wither now, Britannia ??"

Continue as a sales outlet for the rest of the world until we have no money left.

Then the war will have been won, and we will be dependent on our masters in the Fourth Reich aka EU.
Bank reform: The radical way 07:53am on 25 Oct 2009 The root problem, spiralling debt, has not been addressed.

Worse still, it has been aggravated by creating more debt.

Failure is being rewarded and success penalised. The latest example is the awarding of bonuses to state bank leaders for their success in picking our pockets, while people who have worked and saved all their lives see their savings stolen or devalued.

Radical reforms are indeed required.

Banks should be made to function as banks, and forbidden to engage in gambling activities. That is not their province.

First however, the criminals who knew what was going on and participated in the grand larceny should face trial.

It goes without saying that the next bank that blackmails the government by threatening to turn the ATMs off, should be allowed to fail.

It also goes without saying that Parliament should be dissolved and an election called, so that we can get rid of the crooks on both sides of the house.
Nick Griffin on Question Time 07:43am on 23 Oct 2009 Unfortunately, I have to agree with #1.

Griffin did very well in front of a hostile audience and panel.

If the BBC had put up a panel of substance, and sought an audience which represented the country, he would have done badly.

The whole episode has done BNP recruitment a real service. But this is not the problem; the problem is the increasing of racial intolerance and prjudice in our country as a direct result of the actions of an inept, grasping, uncaring and criminal government.
Cameron the Heathite? 7:18pm on 22 Oct 2009 Let's not forget that Heath signed the Treaty of Rome in 1972, and Wilson lied to us to get the Common Market Referendum through.

Traitors both.

let's get rid of this conniving duopoly of red and blue that has been dragging our country into the gutter for decades.

Don't vote Labour or Tory.
A sombre warning 7:09pm on 22 Oct 2009 #190

Why don't you take out a future or option to protect your position? It shouldn't cost too much.
Is all publicity good publicity? 11:46am on 21 Oct 2009 #87 Mark_WE

"All women short-lists are not the same as banning men from attempting to become Tory MPs."

Don't talk daft!

All gay short-lists are not the same as banning heterosexuals from attempting to become Tory MPs.?

All coloured short-lists are not the same as banning whites from attempting to become Tory MPs?
A sombre warning 11:02am on 21 Oct 2009 Horse - bolted - stable door spring to mind.

The Bank of England by all appearances seemed to do a proper job until many of its powers were taken away and given to jobsworths in the Treasury and FSA by this crooked government of ours.

One can only guess at their reasons; increased tax take on the back of crime seems the most obvious.
Moving in the right direction 9:26pm on 20 Oct 2009 @128 JJ

At least they had Versailles as an excuse! Now we are heading for the Fourth Reich.
