Taxpayers ...Your country needs you!

Will the fivers have Gordon Brown on them?

Yes and the anti-terrorist police squads will wear a shirt of a colour named after him .....

[Doggy Styles]

Hey, at this rate we'll have the old pound notes back.

I'd put Peter Mandelson on those.

[Doggy Styles]

We can just print money.

Anyway : anyone with any sense will move to a decent country.

Taxpayers need to fork out more to bail Britain out

I think this calls for some more patriotic statements about, not what the country can do for you but, what you can do for your country.

Perhaps we could conclude this thread by singing the national anthem.

Just as I predicted back in October:

Asked recently about whether to rule out the wholesale nationalisation of the banking system, Mr King said it would be "a very serious error to rule out measures which may eventually prove necessary".

Although senior policymakers view such an eventuality as a last resort, it has come significantly closer. The bank bail-out has not had the desired effect in kick-starting lending, although it has, so far, prevented the banks from collapsing entirely.

Peter Spencer of the University of York warned that full-scale nationalisation is now "almost inevitable".

As the article points out
Banks cannot lend cheaply in a recession and recapitalise simultaneously. Another rate cut will f-up sterling and knacker the banks further, still some people on this board might have a cheaper mortgage until they are benched

Sorry can't help. I'm only on the minimum wage.

Listening to PMQ - very funny today. Plenty of name calling.

Not sure this has much relevance to anyone here.

Yes, we should all stand as one with hands to our hearts and sing the national anthem together.

Altogether now...

God of nations! at Thy feet
In the bonds of love we meet,
Hear our voices, we entreat,
God defend our Free Land.
Guard Pacific's triple star,
From the shafts of strife and war,
Make her praises heard afar,
God defend New Zealand...


Just practising.
