Ideas for solving economic woes

[DodgyAgent]

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.

The FSA had all the powers it needed to control the banking system. You are quite right about what the govt should be for. If the FSA did not have the power then the govt could have given the powers. The reason the govt ignored the dangers was because it was gorging itself on the tax revenues it was raising from the credit boom.

It is interesting to see that now the likes of Gordon Brown and labour are cock a hoop

Quote Jeff Randall in the torygraph

Bizarrely, the Prime Minister has never looked happier. His dream is coming true. More than 900,000 public sector jobs have been created under his regime, banks have been nationalised and taxes are rising. Britain is not yet a command economy, but we're on the way. Welcome back Old Labour.

You are soon too if NZ keeps their open-door immigration policy. Only a crazy country would do that.

A trader I know (who was worth millions) once told me an old (public) school friend asked to borrow 5k. He said he would give him 5k on 2 conditions :-
1. he never asked for money again
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.

Can't remember who said it (nor can I be arised to google it)

"If you lend a friend a tenner and then never see them, it was money well spent"

Doomed?

We must be mad, literally mad, as a nation? Oh, surely not!
