As the floodwaters of debt and destitution rise, so only those atop the loftiest peaks will survive.

While we are all eating each other, Posh and Becks will become the new Adam and Eve. Although not in that order, obviously.

St Posh and St Becks !

Oh Brave New World !!!!

A Merry Marx'n'Spendmass to y'all !

I was going to say the UK as still got Posh and Becks - but no theyre in the US as well.

There is no manufacturing in the UK so the money would have been exported when importing manufactured goods.

In the US there is still quite a bit of manufacturing so the money will roll around the economy for a good while longer than it would in the UK.

This may well be long enough for western style civilisation to survive and this money will help. The UK will not survive this recession.

Thanks - with Obama very much against outsourcing and the UK nothing left to outsource - yes - you have a point.

Perhaps Russia might step in to buy up the UK - at least Buck Palace is still an attraction for tourism ?

Can quite figure out why the money would have been wasted had it remained in the UK ?

Alarmist nonsense.

Not to mention Kate Moss and Mrs Doyle.

Jesus, I thought I was a pessimist.

You say that like it was a bad thing.

The UK recession is going to be the worst in the western world. If the money had sayed in the UK it would have been wasted. At least in the US there is a possibility that some 'western culture' may survive the changes.

I also liked the Lehman transfer of a huge sum from their UK operation to the US, hours before the collapse. Thanks to that, Lehman's Americans got bonuses, Brits didn't.

Aye DP

You are on the few people who can see the Bailout for what it was - a massive scam - a massive Welfare package by the departing US Neo-Cons for greedy Wall St execs whose lust for money got us into this jam.
