Don't worry
My pay will go in either today or Monday and it will be too late to take the tax off that one; the financial director is coming down on Monday so I'm going to discuss it with him.

It's just double standards in my book.

"Own a bank! Make shitloads of money while the sun shines by gambling on imaginary things that even the bankers don't really understand! And when you fuck up the entire world's economy, don't worry, the government will bail you out with a combination of people's hard earned taxes and more imaginary money they borrowed from somewhere else, so don't worry about keeping up the payments on your Bentley!"

If we take Thatcher/Reaganite 'let the market find its own level' to its logical conclusion (and I never agreed with that in the first place) then they should be allowed, nay MADE to go to the wall. But they aren't. Meanwhile my mum's business is probably going to go under, and instead of the government bailing her out, the (very high) business taxes she pays are being used to bail some other cunt out. How the fuck can they justify that?

I think
the really weird thing is that Brown can't even make the banks do what he wants even when he owns them.
