TheCountOfNowhere Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) 1998-2007 banks allow to run a full blown ponzi/pyramid scheme inflating housing prices to eye watering levels. 2007 bank collapse...banks get trillions in bailouts and low IRs to prop up house prices aka their balance sheets 2007-2012: Everything done to accomodate the bankers 2012-2017: Magicked up cash and low IRs handed out to anyone willing to buy a house in order to get house prices country wide back to 2007 levels ( and beyond ) 2016: Post BrExit vote Ex-banker remainer May, wife of a London banker, shoe horned into the position of power. Carney refuses to stand down because his child is at school. 2017: Minority government hands £1Bn to Northern Ireland to keep May in power/ Amber Rudd, no election majority whatsoever, handed top job in the caninet 2017 - Banks getting special brExit status. 2017 - minority government basically ignoring the wishes of the democractic majority. As far as I can tell...the bankers are running the shoe. We are all hoping for a HPC, meanwhile those ****s are enslaving us and taking everything we own/work for. The bankers are in charge and there seems to be nothing you and I can do about it. Edited December 20, 2017 by TheCountOfNowhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayward Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Look at the outcomes not the stated intentions...and the outcome of policies adopted over recent decades is what???

Dorkins Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Corbyn's probably the only senior politician who hasn't given a speech about how the City is a vital part of the UK economy and we must do everything we can to support it. Maybe vote for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zilly Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Yes I do chuckle - sardonically - when I read that we need special provisions/strategy post-Brexit for our finance sector/The City. These are the very same people who have been telling those who work in the world of manufacturing (ie are involved in the creation of wealth, rather than debt...) for 40 years that industrial planning is 'communism' and that it's basically hard cheese if your job disappears abroad because it's 'market forces' if there's someone who can do your job cheaper than you, and we cannot interfere with the process of maximising stockholder returns. Same people who held out the begging bowl 10 years ago too following the results of their own malfeasance. Strange double standards. But it seems we must protect our financial speculators. For some reason. Must be that 'trickle down' munificence from our financial overlords we're programmed to believe in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who thought that the banks wouldnt be protected at all costs from the start of the brexit, even if it means to kill democracy stone dead, was or is deluded. Its always about protecting the fat cats in their ivory towers. And so it will come to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This illusion of democracy is dying fast. I'd say a vote to leave was a vote well cast. What this means for our futures is anyone's guess now tho. Been saying for a long time now....Much trouble to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen that "you do the maths" post in a dozen web pages now....same BTLer perhaps ? Certainly someone wanting to send out a message, too much of a coincidence that is. A lot of those mad ganz lot are on I/O mortgages and when push comes to shove wont be collecting those mad gainz, they've just not realised it yet. it interests me how they are also so willing to...come on here and have a go at us when they are so secure in their mad gainz world.
