# hahahaha!
I'm starting to get a bit scared now.

'pparently, the banks have to pay off the government before they can start passing on high interest rates and competiton to the consumers.

Finland did the same thing, and 17 YEARS on they still haven't paid the government back.

# Labour will like that...
...they will probably be back in power by then and can claim they sorted the whole giant mess out.

# Nah, its not a loan
the govt have taken shares (over 60% of RBS, & over 40% of HBOS) in return for the cash. So being as the shares are currently in the toilet, when the price goes up, they can sell them at a profit.

# see this is part of the problem
the average man in the street hasn't got a fucking clue what is going on, because it's not ebing explained to us.

And 'they' wonder why the public panic when they tell them not to
