Having spent Saturday night in the company of a woman struggling to get a small business going, and hearing how the bank refused to lend her £150 - for 24hrs whilst confirmed Paypal transactions cleared - I know how stingy the banks are.

I can't imagine what is going through those silly little darkies heads when they finally manage to get out of those countries where actually expressing an opinion can lead to you being arrested, tortured and the murdered by the government.
Why would they even consider that they should aim for a country where, should be allowed to stay, they will be giving the best chance for themselves and their families.

if you are running a company and it has cashflow problems but generally your company is healthy most banks would allow you to set up an overdraft, but it will cost you and is unlikely to be set up overnight. Banks don't just throw money at people at short notice.
If you suddenly need £150 for 24 hours then WONGA.com would probably be a better option.
But this is all by the by since the article is about civil servants and has nothing to do with banks.

which may be a problem, but since banks got into this mess by lending to businesses that weren't viable, they are now being extra cautious about lending.
The article is about businesses being able to bid for government contracts and that somehow "bureaucrats" are preventing them. Which is just stupid, the fact that small businesses can't guarantee to provide the service that large government contracts require is what's stopping them winning the contracts.
They could of course band together with other small companies, but then you end up creating a large company.

I'm slightly torn about the "defence" industry. On one hand, making things designed expressly to kill people isn't very nice, but on the other, people are always going to want to buy weapons and therefore we might as well get a piece of the pie.
What I'm not convinced about though is if these arms companies actually benefit the UK economy overall as they get a lot of their money from government contracts, so it's not really new money.
