RajD Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) How to keep the wheels of Ponzi finance turning: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2...15875-21708704/ In the most important speech of his career to the Labour Conference in Brighton - designed to bring the party back from the dead - Mr Brown is to outline how Post Offices will be able to offer current accounts, mortgages, savings accounts and loans to small businesses to compete with the major money houses."The People's Post Office Bank could allow them to have access to cheap, affordable loans to get them through hard times. "I want the Post Office to step in to help hardworking families to save and access their money easily with banking for the people in our neighbourhoods."

I'd have thought Gordon would like something that depicts fairness throughout customers' lifetimes, that gives them a feeling of real security. Got it! - how about "Equitable Life"? Much more Gordon-like. Edited September 29, 2009 by mikthe20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CokeSnortingTory Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Doesn't sound very global. How about the Global Family Growth Values Fund? That sounds more Brown-esque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotMyHouse Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Well, I think that the services of such a bank are more required in the North than the South and should incorporate words that people associate with strength and stability. Anyone for Northern Rock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
