Alex cartoon has an interesting perspective.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Next Comrades - The Nationalisation of the Housing Market.
Perfect.
I am the tool of the government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious
But you cant look away
I make you think Im delicious
With the stuff that I say
I am the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I am the slime oozin out
From your tv set
You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we dont need you
Dont got for help...no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are soldComment

However,but the left want to paint it like that in their smugness and some on the right call it that out of equal ignorance.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

But ministers believe that it would be politically unacceptable for the man who led RBS to the brink of failure to continue running the bank with public money.Rule #76: No excuses. Play like a champion.Comment
