Today we hear of the so-called bail-out of High Street banks to the tune of a half a trillion squid of our hard-earned readies.
All well and good, bleat the bought-off tabloids... a "necessary step to stabilize the markets" we hear.
Yet only today the stoat has learnt this mega amount of our money has been handed over to the City fat cats with no enforceable preconditions whatsoever.
Nothing to force the banks to start lending again to the man in the street looking for a mortgage to buy his first home... nothing at all to ensure our cash is spent on re-financing small businesses in order for them to be able to grow.
All this is, is a barely-disguised taxpayers' money-laundering scam of breathtaking proportions, completely rigged in favor of the fat cats in the City to be able to stay in their overpaid jobs in their plush Canary Wharf ivory towers, keep taking their mega bonuses with only token new caps in place.... and to keep living the high life... and at our expense for years more to come.

Effectively lending a crockload of our cash without our permission, unconditionally... to his own ilk.
And the Brown/Darling ticket the champion of their piggy cause.
Sleaze... doesn't even come close.
And the likes of those well-heeled pinstriped spivs and chancers expect the likes of the stoat to stump up a monkey a year for a licence for his wee 5" stoat hole skip-rescued telly that only spews bland mediocrity twenty four seven fifty two?
Nice one Mr Chancellor ![]()

I see they have the Nationwide on their list. Preference shares in a mutual society? What is that all about?
