This 50% windfall tax on city bonuses is a filthy filthy business. I am haunted by the thought that these finest of international minds will go elsewhere and the country will end up in the same state betfair found themselves after the great pc walkout when the traders went purple with their famous liquidity. I personally am proud to pay for the mistakes of the city just as I'm only too happy to subsidise the commission of our striped blazered friends on here. Why are these geniuses being victimised. They deserve every penny they get considering the wealth they create for the rest of us. WE LOVE THEM AND WE OWE THEM EVERYTHING.
It wasn't always that way stewarty but they became delusional. I often got the impression they thought they had invented betting each way multiples in races with value place odds among other things. It's now a pc whinging forum for would be intellectual city boy ponces apart from when they're **ing behind non-member's backs.

tbh Feck, I noticed a post of yours a couple of years back and you mentioned to a forumite that he could talk to you on a one to one basis via that forum. (E.Mail I think) However, I'm not too sure just how private the conversation would have been. I for one would like to talk to you on a one to one basis about certain matters, as I regard you as one of the better eggs on BF. Maybe some day.
PS I liked your post about Ross County giving us the most chance in Europe on the football forum. My masonic referee thread was tongue in cheek. I stopped posting when some moron came out with the Pope, Billy Connolly, Gary Glitter thread. As a non believer, I can't abide that sort of bile. (apparently the moderators can) And to think I got a thirty day ban when Stanley Chin dropped his hands on a Johnston beast costing me 800.... and the cnut only got 28 days!

It seems many of the co-conspirators of Bernie Madoff are uncharged and still at large. I suppose those particular masters of the universe weren't to know it was a scam, I mean if Thommo was claiming 86% winners at average odds of 10/1 over the last year it's not as if any of us horse racing pros would pick up on it. In the meantime we should be vigilent in case one of these Madoff's wealth creating masters of the universe employ some dolite, desperate for money for his kid's birthday bike, on a £3 per hour casual basis.

Goldman Sachs mobsters have announced they've doubled their profits in the first quarter of this year. Doesn't it gladden your heart to know that all those businesses, jobs and services going down the pan (to say nothing of microscopic savings rates) to keep these 'wealth creators' afloat is having more than the desired effect?

Three men accused of betting scam go on trial By Graham Green 8:55AM 25 APR 2010 THREE men who allegedly masterminded a lucrative and long-running horse race betting scam are due to go on trial at Lewes Crown Court on Monday.
The charges against twins Paul and Greg Spicer, 35, both of Brighton, and Lee O'Donnell, 62, from Hove, followed a joint investigation by Sussex police and London borough of Merton Trading Standards officials, codenamed Operation Cantonese.
The inquiry was launched in 2006 by Sussex police Major Fraud Unit after complaints from victims who had responded to unsolicited mailshots through the post advertising a scheme to join a betting syndicate.
The charges relate to a series of leaflets and brochures featuring the names John 'Jock' McCracken, Robert Carter Racing, Paul Howell Racing and J J Bloor Racing.
The three men are accused of conspiring with each other and with others between April 30, 2003 and February 13, 2008, to defraud prospective and actual participants in various purported betting services and purported investment services by: making false claims in relation to the betting services; making false claims in relation to the investment services; and seeking and receiving payment in relation to those services referred to.
The trial is expected to last up to six weeks.
Why is it OK for the financial sector to do the same thing? Is it something to do with collars and ties?

I see the 1,000 richest people in Britain have increased their wealth by 33% in the last year. We can only hope that these 'wealth creators' see their way clear to give the little people a job shining their shoes to help them through the trauma of watching their old ma and da waste away with MRSA in NHS wards that are rotting due to health cuts.

I see the Farepack customers, who were almost exclusively low paid or unemployed, are to receive 15% of the money they saved with this mob. A derisory amount that wouldn't even pay the interest on their 'savings'. No bailout for those poor sods. Of course the wealth creator who owned the firm is still at large despite continuing to take money from his customers long after it was apparent his 'business' was about to go t1ts up. His big house and wealth are still in place and he'll be back in a few years to do some more wealth creating. It's strange that they changed the law recently to make gambling bets recoverable by law (this particular ponce would've lost everything had he been gambling with bookmakers) but it doesn't apply to our collar and tie friends who gamble through business start ups.
On the subject of bailouts, now the airlines and insurance operators want in on the act. Not satisfied with getting 1.5 about 1.01 shots they now want the taxpayers to cover their losses when a 1.01 is decombustulated. Maybe we betfairians should have a similar scheme for our course ir players. Some rotters and spoilsports have called these people **s but betfair have been quick to point out that they are actually selfless beings who go to considerable expense to supply us stay at home punters with competitive and accurate ir odds. Given that, if a horse is 10 clear with a few yards to run and collapses and dies then surely these wealth creators should be compensated for what can only be considered an act of God, especially if they are unable to recoup their losses laying the dead horse.

US authorities are investigation allegations that goldman sachs sold on shares to their clients knowing they were about to plummet in value. As I said earlier, running a hedge fund is like betting knowing if the horse isn't going well you've a ready made bunch of clowns to dump the bet on ir. What I don't understand about the US investigation is this. Does this mean the authorities think there's someone in the financial sector who WASN'T doing this?

The clueless stock market guessers, along with the complicit media, are warning us that if their government of choice isn't in place soon the markets will go into meltdown. WALOFS.
Meanwhile, can the pro-euro Lib Dems really do a deal with the closet UK independence party? What's the point of getting proportional representation if no one will vote for them again because they fear they're tory backslappers? I suspect the Cameron talks are nothing more than a rouse to extract more concessions from Labour. Is there any betting on this?

Watching the currency markets each day and seeing the euro slump while the dollar strengthens I'm fast coming round to the idea that what we've witnessed in this "crash" is WWIII. The arabs were talking about moving their money from dollars to the new stable, supercurrency the euro. That would've spelt meltdown for the USA so they had to do something. They could hardly bomb European cities so had to look elsewhere. In the financial sectors there was an easy target. Great wealth and power overseen by what's basically a shower of delusional clowns. So the yanks get someone to create a new type of bond that nobody understands, start a rumour that risk has been eliminated and leave the clowns to destroy their economies with their own greed and stupidity. Isn't it funny that the country that caused it all ends up with the fastest recovery and strongest currency.
The euro may have taken a punding but what a shafting our own clowns took. Long before the euro slumped against the dollar the pound had went into meltdown against the euro and has continued to slide with it. In our financial sector we clearly have the clown princes. To think they're threatening to move elsewhere if they don't get their bonuses. Who in the fk would have them? Surely they'd be considered undesirable aliens.

Anyone who still has lingering doubts about these parasites should watch last night's Dispatches once it becomes available online (http://www.channel4.com/programmes/dispatches/).
We can only hope that Clegg & Co. force the tories to turn on their own because if Thatcher's children do a betfair and build the entire infrastructure around these ponces it will go t1ts up for the entire country. The bank of England already believes Collapse II is in the pipeline as the 'masters of the universe' seek to get as much as they can while their no lose accounts are still in place.

Many of these people lay the blame at the Public Sector. Of course spending on the public sector needs reducing.

"The market" (vomit) has reacted positively to the tories' bail out plan as evidenced by the pound recovering a fraction of the value it lost against the euro and dollar. "The market" always reacts positively to the discovery of new slave labour markets and all the better if that market is potentially your own citizens. "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what more you can do for less" is the new battlecry. But don't worry, you won't suffer alone. Osbourne has got tough not only with the unemployed and the sick but with the banks as well. Or has he? Those billions aren't being taken off the parasitic b@stards who caused all this. No, it seems they're not even to be hit by a modest windfall tax. It's business as usual for them as that money will be coming out of the bank's profits AFTER they've had their massive wages and bonuses. Yes, it's the bank's owner's who'll pay that bill and who are the principal owner's of British banks? Yes, that's right, it's the British taxpayer.
So, if you're working into your eighties, if your business has went under because the banks wouldn't give you a loan or you've lost your job and you're begging on the streets because the "wealth creators" want to rehouse you in the less expensive Divis flats, take solace in the fact that your misery has funded these parasitic b@stards as they ponce about Ascot in their tails or their multi-million art work bids as they seek to put their money beyond the reach of hyperinflation or Collapse II. How THEY must be hoping England win the World Cup and that it signals another half century of servile stupidity.
This massive p1ss take has now reached the point where you have to wonder if the mythical Al-Qaeda ever again manage to bomb a world trade centre will the Arabs be the only ones dancing in the streets?

It will be the more recent unemployed who will receive the bulk of the harrasment (NAP). I agree on the private sector lanlords but most of them exist purely because of Thatcher's council house giveaway bribes and they are not the intended targets of this legislation.
jbarnes, it may be sick but once you and your friend's failures actually start hurting, be careful out there. The austerity measures would've been so much easier for people to take if the banks had been nationalised and the parasites within them had their assets seized. As it is the said parasites are relatively untouched and unrepentant. It is only a matter of time before the anger spills over.

What about this BIG SOCIETY then folks? It's like bob-a-job for adults. They really have got to the stage where they think (with some justification) that there's no limit to how far they can stick it up ordinary people. It's only a matter of time before they'll have the unemployed shining banker's shoes or cutting their hedges in return for giro tokens. What's more the legislation will probably be cheered on by the "it could never happen to me" division.

I've just had this brilliant idea. Why don't the banks just pay a really low saving rate and charge a really high borrowing rate? The government are desperate to get their money back so they won't do anything about. Now I know what you're all thinking. You're thinking "Jeez, how does this guy do it. I hope one of the banks gives him a job and gives him and his staff bonuses of around half the profits he makes from this great idea otherwise we could lose his intellect to banks abroad". Much as I love my country I'm afraid your fears could be realised and even if the banks do find a place for me I may still leave if they up the taxes. Surely they wouldn't do that to us wealth creators when they can cut services and do away with meaningless jobs? They could even stop providing milk to small nursery infants MANY OF WHOM ARE LACTOSE INTOLERANT.

I see Mr Big Society is going after the "dole scroungers". Quite right too. The dole queues will soon be bursting with people who thought it would never happen to them and we can't have the ones among them who saved while working expecting to get the same length of time on benefits as those who spent it all on bingo. Those fine fellows at the credit agencies will soon weed them out and even though their commission will mean the taxpayers will show a loss I'm sure as wealth creators they'll put it to better use than these fkng doleites. And what about that 61 year old with the hip operation? 300 hours community service for 30K's worth. He should've been hung. Those of you who are saying the 30K amount is bollx because he would've been unemployed anyway and would've been getting that money anyway (bar the extra £12 or so for being supposedly sick) are way off the mark. Everyone knows he could've found work under Mr Big Society's new Shine A Banker's Shoes initiative.

Anyone see Panorama this week. It was about grave robbers within the financial services industry. It seems anything this shower of fkng scum don't manage to rip you off for when you're alive they want to rip your beneficiaries off for once you're dead, even if they happen to be charities. It's not really fraud they because they wear collars and ties and live in the stockbroker belt. Nothing to interest Mr. Big Society here. Ditto with tax evasion. Everything will be OK once he's hounded the unemployed into becoming tramps and beggars.

So how are things in the BIG SOCIETY then? It all seems to be going well. They're hitting the banks for 8 billion over the next 4 years and (some of) the middle classes for a billion a year in child benefit. Surely the working classes must realise they also have to do their bit now that they're absolutely whacking the better off? OK, it's the bank's owners (us) they're hitting for the 2 billion a year and that's only after the financial genuises get their cut but half of the 7 billion that's being paid out in city bonuses this year will come back to us in taxes. That sounds like a good deal to me. The banks owners give the masters of the universe 7 billion and they return 3.5 billion to them which leaves them with 1.5 billion after they take their 2 billion. Simples. Quite frankly, anyone made redundant who then has to move to a poor area because of reduced benefits can have no complaints given the way they're hitting the super rich.
It just makes me want to scweam and scweam and scweam when I hear these pinkos talking about strike action and groups like the real IRA talking about hitting financial targets in the city. Can't these rotten apples see that Dave is a fair man?

There was some tabloid clown on the news this morning stating that 52% agreed with taking the child benefits of (some) middle classes versus 35% who didn't. "At least when the other benefit cuts come people will realise people are being hit accross the board" he said without a mention of the financial parasite's 7 billion in bonuses this year. It seems Dave and George have got this one right. Rupert's retards have swallowed it hook, line and sinker.
Can they really get away with this? I always thought had they seized the assests of the financial parasites, jailed a few of the fraudsters and then truly nationalised the banks there wouldn't be a problem but surely even the stupid, servile British public aren't going to take this up the jacksie? Surely once the redundancies and benefit cuts happen even Rupert's retards will realise the dole isn't all about flat screen tellies and £4,500 boob jobs. My money's on the tide turning. You self proclaimed masters of the universe be careful out there.

Victim alert again.
What about working hard during school/uni, getting good qualifications, getting a modestly paid job, working hard, get progressively better jobs, get paid more, enjoy decent standard of living?
Too many Labour supporters think that anyone in a decent position has it handed to them on a plate. That is simply not true.
The people I know who have worked hardest and made the most sacrifices are the ones in the better jobs with the better salaries. Unfortunately this inconvenient truth is overlooked by the likes of you Feck.

Do you really believe that everyone who has a decent job has been gifted the opportunity?
Mention to someone on the dole that there may be jobs available at the other end of the country and they look at you like you are mad however virtually every successful person I know has had to relocate on one or more occassions.

A deeply depressing response but entirely predictable.
Are you saying that a "ponce" who has a job and pays taxes is more worthy of criticism than a dole dosser who refuses to relocate for work?
What a messed up society we live in.
As far as I am concerned if someone won`t relocate for work then stop their benefits immediately. It is totally unreasonable for them to be able to dictate the terms on which they are happy to work.

I daresay Tony Soprana types pay some taxes. Doesn't make them valued members of society. The same goes for the financial sector fraudsters.
The means tested benefit system is a waste of space and should be replaced with the green party's basic income scheme (everyone automatically receives the equiv of a giro). It would be much the same thing with all the needless and expensive bureaucracy removed (obviously taxes would rise to recoup that money). It would also remove the ridiculous anomaly where people are expected to work for less than their dole money. Such situations usually arise because of low pay rather than large benefits although the rent system has a lot to answer for in this respect.
Tax evasion could be eradicated by making society cashless. That along with nationalisation of the financial services "industry" is where the big savings lie.

PML. He's not taxing the banker's bonuses (even if he were this would amount to a poxy 13% of their proposed 6 billion windfall), he's taxing the banks and who owns the banks? Correct, the British taxpayers. This big number headline is actually the "compromise" on bonuses he's managed to extract from the bankers and 1.01 it was the idea of the "furious" bankers. It's no wonder the city donate 50% of all tory party funds.
Kids will be getting run over because some councils are having to do away with lollipop men. Meanwhile, this financial fkng vermon have never had it so good. Surely it's only a matter of time before the violence starts.

Contrarian, how stupid can you get? Many people are now effectively living in mud huts because of these parasitic cnts. A league of guessers who want a share of the winnings when they tip a winner but want someone to cover their losses if they do their balls.
Do you think they manufacture money from thin air? If someone's winning then someone has to be losing. They are fraudsters and the government turns a blind eye in return for a slice of the action.

Do you think they manufacture money from thin air? If someone's winning then someone has to be losing.
No, it's not a zero-sum game. The bankers act to help big business make even more money than they otherwise would.
They're heroes I tell you, f*cking heroes!

" . if the govt were to take a hard line then the banks would just up sticks and go elsewhere, ireland, germany, anywhere with a more equable tax regime"
I forget who said it, but, the banks would go to Ireland??

That worked in the north of Ireland and South Africa, didn't it? Anyway, there's millions coming at their backs and it won't be flat screens they'll be looking for.

With markets plumetting we should be thankful our banking friends, at request of the government, moved much of their average bonus on to their basic pay to avoid any bonus controversy. This will ensure the lack of bonuses won't see them depart their gold bricked country manors for somewhere they'd be appreciated like the moon. It's not their fault world markets are in freefall. World governments aren't sacrifising enough young people. They should select 50% of working class under 18's and incinerate them. Surely the Market would respond positively to such a gesture. And don't go rioting, in fact don't even mention the word or you'll get 4 years. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. President Assad, sorry Cameron, will not tolerate protest of any kind.
At midnight tonight raise your palms to the heavens and join me in prayer
From the depths of despair we cry unto you Oh Market Market hear our prayer.

Same here Feck. I haven't had a bet since the Aberdeen-Celtic match. I don't get sucked in by these big meetings anymore. I've changed my strategy and I'm far more selective and condensed now.
Even if it means missing out on a few winners, it has to be the right horse, in the right race,with a decent draw, without a corpse on board, the right stable and the right price for me to risk my hard earned.
Having said that, I've had a few football bets, and although early doors, I've not had a loser yet.
Speaking about football, I wish I had done a double with Celtic to win the SPL and a.n.other. I saw that young lad score two goals for NI in their last match and was very impressed with him. I forget his name, but if that's what Celtic have in reserve, it should be a cakewalk, even if the h u n s get twenty penalties this season. [;)]

No wonder you're rarely betting stewarty. Not a lot of live ones about.
Paddy McCourt you mean? Re spl, the rest are so bad it could still be decided by the men in black / orange.

That's the lad Feck. Looks destined for the top imo. (which, if true, means he'll most likely end up in England) I notice Adien Mcgeady, (spelling) has joined a rival Russian outfit for over twenty million quid. He must be turning it on over there and he's on big bucks. No suprise to see the Russian league become one of the best in the near future with all of this money being pumped in by the energy barons.
I know it was a sore one for you last time Feck, but if Celtic don't do the buisness this season, they never will. Still excllent value at 4/7 imo.

Feck, I just googled Paddy McCourt and it's worth reading. I copied and pasted it on here but firefox just 'melted' and shut down. I don't follow the SPL much nowadays, but I'm astonished it's the same man as I'd never heard of him until seeing his goals against the Faroes. I thought he was only about 21!
Perhaps occasionally brilliant sums him up, and it's a pity if it does, as he looked different class to me.
You live and learn.

Good to see my old thread alive and well. The p1ss take continues unabated and they no longer even feel the need for subtlety. How long before we see the first white European suicide bomber taking a few of the guilty with them?

Feck, which nasty unpleasant outburst of your angry hate bile filled character got your normal alias that we all grew to love and ignore banned anyway?
