    I am not a leech - I don't use public finance, pay my bills on time using my own money that were honestly earned with all taxes paid.

    You are not leech either - they are just trying to survive and they don't have the choices humans can make, so if they suck blood then (like vampires) it's just the way it is. You on the other hand like me and everyone else had a choice to make - yours was very bad that would make leeches blush if they could.

    Frankly you are the guy who actively took part in property speculation and in addition to fooking over poor sods who bought your BLTs recently you also now try to look as if someone else is responsible for UK being in deep tulip. No sassy - you have direct responsibility for that, so you should STFU and pray there is no retrospective 99% capital gains tax on property sold in the last 10 years.

      2. he did not attempt to pay him back

      Within a year the friend had asked for another 5k. The trader put the phone down.
      impressive story.
      I might try that one, but without the k bit after the 5

        To be honest, I don’t have a bloody clue what the government should do; I understand a bit of O level economics but I don’t find it half as interesting as astronomy and geology (my hobbies), geography (which I studied) or gastronomy (which I diligently study as often as possible) and I find it quite rude of bankers and finance ministers to be hogging the headlines for so long. I hope I can quickly get back to ignoring the financial news as I had being doing quite happily for the last three and a half decades.

            Will that be part of your budget when you become chancellor?

              That's all you've got to say?

              Labour Govt managed so long only because of support from the City - scumbuckets like yourself who saw a chance to make quick easy money without consideration what these games will lead to. Given that you are in no position to ask any question on what Britain should do now, you should STFU and pray to your atheist Gods to help you get out of this one in one piece.

                In my view you are better qualified than most of the experts holding forth on here and many of the Chancellors we've had to endure - but then what do I know? I can't even read.

                    He is a scumbucket because he took active part in dirty games to get rich quick and now he pretends like it never happened and he is concerned about well being of Brittannia - string 'im up I say or let him walk the plank off one of those big City skyscrapers

                      I wasn't suggesting they run anything. I'm against nationalisation.

                      But I'm pro regulation where there is plainly a need. That's all governments should be for.
