Vince Suggests Banksters Should Be Run Over On The Motorway

[punter]

The Bankster in chief, Mervyn King, is the one who needs to be run over

The run of the mill bankster is only sucking at his tit as they allow him to arbitrage through low rates the massive profits and bonuses which they've shovelling into their pockets at the expense of the rest of us.

Cut off the head (the Bankrupt of England) and the snake(s) will die, or rather the free market will liquidate their stupid lending decisions and funny money instruments which are all based on the artificially cheap credit provided to them by Merv and his gang of crooks.

Davos 2011: JP Morgan boss hits out at 'banker bashing'

An angry Jamie Dimon tells World Economic Forum that blanket criticism of banking industry is unfair.

Did my bit. First one to find my comment wins a slightly used MBS and a couple of nearly new CDOs

He's a banker and called Dimon . Apt.

And "James" means "supplanter" - one who steals the place of another.

Putting the criminal banksters in prison for a long time, ten years plus, and seizing ten times their proven ill gotten gains would I hope, prove to be a big enough deterrent to control frauds that are now becoming apparent.

As you point out, there are frauds and crimes everywhere. Benefit fraud is endemic. MP's were caught with their hands in the till. Public servants have set themselves up pension schemes that will bankrupt the nation, and top judges devised their own pension scheme to let them keep more dosh tax free. This latter one was legal of course, so nice that you can change the law so that what is criminal becomes respectable, for judges only of course, no equality before the law despite your human right to it. Then there are the people driving around uninsured and untaxed, with some if not many committing insurance fraud, and then there are the mortgage fraudsters, and credit card fraudsters.

The only hope that this can be sorted out is if you go after the fraudsters wherever they are. Recent cases where Lords and MP's have gone to jail do show at least that the courts can be a good place to send these people. What we really need though is beefing up of jail sentences, a cell for every offender, and seizing of assets ten times the value of what can be proved in court. Just a few going down for this sort of thing, and being wiped out, will deter so much crime.

I don't think the problem was fraud - of course people should be punished for fraud

The damage was done by activities which were engaged in by milions of people, are perfectly legal but nonetheless boil down to theft economically (are identical to theft in their effects).

"He asked what the difference was between a cat being found dead on a motorway and a banker being found dead. 'There were skid marks around the cat,' said Mr Cable."

The joke he originally made is quite funny, then political opponents twist the words to make Vince look bad.

What is it with politicians? They seem obsessed with seeking political advantage.

Here's a thought, how about politicians who are obsessed with running the country for the greater good and who respect their opposite numbers?

Anyone fancy forming a new party?

Anyone fancy forming a new party?

We need better voters, not new parties.

Seriously, I see four major changes to the electorate:

1. The oldest (and sometimes wisest), voters die off

2. The shiny new voters have suffered nigh on 15 years of nannying by the state and state employees in 'education'

3. Imported voters from places with poor track records of voting

4. Exported some of our most able voters

Vince Suggests Banksters Should Be Run Over On The Motorway

Vince has got very upset since Dave downgraded him and his anger is making him talk love grenades. Sad really he once talked a lot of sense before his great leader sold his own soul for personal power.

Vince will eventually say goodbye to the coalition and cuddle up to dear old Ed, what a story for Fleet Street and all the media.

[Guest UK Debt Slave]

A free speaking loose cannon with good intentions.

All the makings of a charismatic leader..

All the more reason why the real power behind things will see to it that he never becomes too influential
