Second Bank Bust

[Timak]

So it is a conservative policy to bloat the public sector until it cannot be paid for?

National spending as a percentage of gdp was arguably lower during Blair/Brown that for most of Thatcher/Major's time in charge.

Easy when you decide what gets counted... we are the off balance country, in all senses of the word.

Logged on to a well known building society online banking this week and the opening message was a warning from them about the safety limit for money being 50K per person.

Wonder why they have decided to put that up now?

Interesting! I had a letter from my bank this week reiterating the same facts. What's prompted them to do this now?

Haven't you learned yet -

"Banks SHARE information about their customers - supposedly "to prevent fraud/money laundering".

In fact on the other hand, they now use this info to 'market and target' people - just like it was all planned by big banking 'brother'!

Therefore they know exactly, every penny you have in other bank accounts - so they are 'targetting' you with 'lending/borrowing lures'.

most probably.

nothing is or soon will be personal anymore.

90 years? 100? 200?

Dream on loony.

Ah, pointless name calling, I think that means you lose.

The left have never been good losers, always leaving in a tantrum rather than with dignity. I guess that's how it always has to end when your whole political ethos is shown for a sham each and every time you are hauled from power in disgrace.
