    Where's it going to end?

    Are we just going to continue to bail out every failing industry until everything's owned by UK PLC? Shall I start sharpening my scythe for when I get conscripted to a collective farm?

      I can think of better uses for it.
      And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

            I should think so. Brown can hardly believe his luck, he's been dreaming of doing this all his life. For him, and Darling and a lot of people arouind them, nationalising is not an unfortunate necessity, but a happy opportunity.

            That is why I fear for private pensions: I should think that Brown is, with the best of intentions, convinced that he is the best one to run them (and make good use of the money in the meantime).

              Plans are already afoot to nationalise body parts. You kidneys are belong to us.

                Aiming small isn't going to help. I;ll flog them some preference shares in my company (and a kidney) for that sum, though.

                  Would you sell it for 10p?

                  This is where you reply "certainly not : do you think I am some sort of soulless non-entity" to which I reply "that we have already established - now we are just haggling over price"

                    I disagree - that kind of action would raise red flags all over and those government bonds they're trying to flog would have even less buyers than they do now.
                    I think Carbon taxes is the plan as it is a new revenue stream.
