Some days ago, I was watching late night news on BBC TV and Robert Peston (www.bbc.co.uk/robertpeston) was being interviewed about a comment PM Gordon Brown was alleged to have said to 'The Banks'. It seems the PM was demanding that The Banks come clean. Mr Peston then said,
"If the PM doesn't know - what the hell chance do the rest of us have?"
Nice one, Mr Peston. I, like a lot of Britons trying to get a grip on the unfolding horror before us, need you to make it that little bit clearer, and I believe most, if not all, of what you tell us.
I must say I am surprised even now that the British do not take to assassination as other nations so readily do...
I am pissed off that Brown continually blames the USA and the Banks for a problem he could so easily have avoided had only he, while Chancellor and PM, and Blair before him, had the backbone to make hard decisions in the wake of Thatcher's liberalisation of the rules governing the markets...
I am tho' glad to be here where the problems facing generations of Britons will not be half so bad.
Reason? France has laws governing how much of one's total income can be used to calculate debt, whereas in UK, if you tell a bank you are able to pay, that seems to be good enough for them.
You can legislate against most things but not against ordinary people being just dumbfucks....
there i said it.......
