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.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. |

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.

150 million donated (a tenner a head for every man, woman & child affected) by world governments to the Pakistan crisis. Your average banker would think twice about getting out of bed to defraud someone of such a trifling sum.

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? |

By:
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. |

Good to see that you are moaning again Feck.
Every day stuck in your left wing labour hell hole must be so frustrating. If it makes you feel any better I can confirm that life on the other side is quite pleasant. You should try it one day rather than withering away as a bitter old man. |

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. |

Silver spoon alert again.
There's a fairly large percentage of the population who are incapable of getting qualifications. Maybe if they were all to get etonesque type attention. |

How on earth do you justify that? None of the people I am referring to had anything except determination to get them started. Victim attitudes like yours is why the country is rammed full of benefit claiming wasters who offer nothing to society and expect those of us who can be bothered to get off our arses to fund them. 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. There's a fairly large percentage of the population who are incapable of getting qualifications. Excuses, excuses , excuses. |

The country isn't "rammed full of benefit claiming wasters" but there's no shortage of ponces in the city who "offer nothing to society and expect those of us who can be bothered to get off our arses to fund them."
Anyone who relocated to the other end of the country for a minimum wage type job (which is what most on the dole would end up with) has my deepest sympathies. |

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. |

I see our French comrades have taken to the streets and are rioting against the raising of retirement age from 60 to 62, just as they did when their government threatened to reduce unemployment benefits. Meanwhile, Rupert's retards insist they'll work on till they drop to keep the financial sector in their accustomed lifestyle but only if unemployment benefits are reduced (it could never happen to them).

Good old George, hammer of the bankers. While negotiating with the bankers on curtailing bonuses he's decided to slap them in the face with an extra 800 million bank tax. What a guy. The bankers are said to be furious, absolutely fkng seething even.
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. |

Feck,
Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Without the bankers and the traders fuelling this economy, we'd all be living in mud huts. |

By:
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. |

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! |

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. |
