Tories tell northern England we love you

Fair point, but I suppose bank assets are so widely owned and relied upon that laissez faire capitalism can't always be taken to its logical extremes.

Try telling nature that.

Waiting a minute I'm agreeing with you. Fate, it doesn't exists. I'm in control of my own destiny!!

Time for a cuppa I'm hungry. AAhhhh wait at minute, I see what's happening there. I'm not hungry at all. Shut-up stomach.

You can make diesel from coal. Idiot.

When I were a lad, we used to make all our gas from it, too.

Perhaps based on result rather than entitlement.

Rolls Royce, they are leaders in aero engine technology. Let's make the funds available for a engine that produces less NOC's than a after dinner cigar.

Interestingly, also when I were a lad, the government bailed out Rolls Royce - there's a good chance they wouldn't exist now. They (mostly) went bust due to the R&D costs fro the RB211 which contains technology that to this day differentiates Rolls jet engines from the competition.

I'm sure I'll say something similar about RBS in 30 years and their latest Ponzi scheme

Why not. We can keep uneconomic banks open.

Did you know banks were bailed out in 8 months to the tune equivalent to 5% the UK has donated in it's entire history towards scientific & engineering endeavour.

Think about that for a moment.

I have. The banks are a great case of the flaws of the TBTF paradigm, not an example for everyone else on how to run a business. The US went even further and balled out its trashy auto firms which are still unable to do well, even with its support.

Looking at the benefits accruing to the few firms who do perform well as a result of plunder is just looking at part of the equation.
