Mrs Blair and flats re dodgy Ossie + girlfriend giving Tony massages and learning secrets
Cash for peerages
Illegal party donations via third parties
Mandelson and the 249,999 pound house to avoid stamp duty

Originally posted by sasguru View PostWhat's the point of this fooking argument?
It is the case that quite a few banks have operated unsound business models for a while and would have been exposed at some time anyway.
If you build a house on sand you expect it to be washed away at some point.
Labour have been lax in not regulating enough (this is because they were desperate not to spook the City) but when it comes to greed and de-regulation everyone knows the Tories are the champs.
Brain dead naive idiots like you believe the Tories will lead us to the land of milk and honey. I would wager you're a young cock who doesn't remember the sleaze that ended the last Tory administration.

Originally posted by Bob Dalek View PostWhich were all fine until some dorks decided to lend to hillbillies with no job and no skills, etc. And that's what's led to EVERY bank suffering, not just NR. Difference is that NR has a great big stock of property to point to and say, "There, THERE'S our backing. The other banks/lenders have nothing like.
