Just you wait until they announce Project iamaprats. That'll be a double whammy.

Once revealed, it'll be clear they've left themselves top heavy and quite a handful to manage.

Ok...which one of you named this project ?

At first glance I thought it was the CUK naughty words filter in action.

This project name was surely suggested by a CUK reader...

The Haliban did exactly the same when they took over (sorry merged with) the Bank of Scotland. What goes round ...... etc.

The Prime Minister, seeking to save HBOS from collapse, waived competition rules which would normally have prevented the creation of such a powerful bank. But he later came under pressure when massive HBOS losses destabilised Lloyds - the bank is now 43% state-owned.

I wouldn't trust that financially inept tosser with his own pocket-money.
