    If it was like that then no objection. What I resent is UK banks telling UK companies to abide by market forces - then saying they have to be bailed out or the UK is stuffed.

    For some reason the politicians go along with it. I have no idea why.

    Is it right that a UK owned bank should pay millions in bonuses while doctors/nurses, who save lives, scrape by on a fraction of that?

    Not too bad, on the news this morning it stated that unemployment is at its lowest for 20 years. For contractors too its pretty good

Its International Workers Day but I doubt half of them have ever held down a job, ******* (they justify it by saying its an anti-fascist demonstration but in truth its just a bunch of th unemployed and layabout students all dressed in black throwing stones at the police.)

    Münster is only a small airport catering basically for mainland Europe flights and holiday destinations of which the UK is obviously not one! MÜnster the town though is lovely, in particular the amount of young female students...

    I booked a flight for meine mutter to Münster / Osnabrück the other day. Turns out there were no direct flight from the UK, so it needs a Frankfurt stop.

    With the government bailing out the bankers with bucket loads of cash I would have expected a full scale riot.
