Do you really think that any government has that much control when it comes to the insatiable greed of private sector banking over the last 15 years? Further to that, getting on the back of the government for doing the only thing possible, however distasteful to the taxpayer, to prevent the economy from going into full scale recession ( something most of you won't remember and I hope you never experience it ) just shows a lack of understanding and fiscal foresight.

they're just as helpless as anyone who is locked into this charade of capitalism. Greed wins or rather those who feed on that greed.

it was Thatcher who deregulated everything and the public who have 'enjoyed' low taxes for so long, on our economy (your pension investment funds included) reliant on financial speculation and hedgefunds; it simply got out of control by careless lending over the years; not least to the spastic public borrowing far more than they can afford to repay; I think at the end of the day it is everyone who has shot themselves in the foot, not the government or the city on their own

quite the reverse; you can't deregulate a beast such as the city to the extent she did and not expect accidents like this not to happen

by Thatcher removing the higher rates of income tax in the late 80s. With all the people who were staggeringly well off, instead of putting that free money back in to the economy, took it and fucked off on massive holidays and bought property away from this country. They then started investing in housing and pushing the house prices up, lots of buy to let, etc etc, until it all finally went pear shape. The conservatives fucked us up good and proper. and now, like fucking brain dead idiots the British public are on the verge of welcoming the posh, inbred, shallow cunty children of thatchers britain back in to power to kill us off once and for all.

you have to accept that the US sub-prime market folding has caused a domino effect in the private world banking sector and we are just getting the arse end of something that started 18 months ago. Sadly we can't just say 'fuck the banks, let them live off their ( now squandered ) profits ) as the economy can't survive the repercussions.
But I commend you on at least having the decency to blame Thatcher ;

face up to the sad fact that we must prepare ourselves for the smug, arse faced, commoner hating, environmentally destructive power of thatchers bastard sprogs.
The problem is none of us know where else to vote. Lib Dems or Green party are still such a ludicrous pipedream, it's cross your fingers and hope that Labour wake up or kiss your arse goodbye.

I hated the 80s and took not a blind bit of notice of the propaganda.

Compliance with the "Zeitgeist" is optional as far as I am concerned.

and am not ashamed of it. I still remained a socialist, I just managed to become reasonably well off at the same time.
The 70's however, now that was a bit pisspoor and I do remember when getting an egg with your chips and beans meant that dad was able to get some overtime on his 3 day week.
