So how much are our banks getting from the government?

£25bn for initial scheme
£25bn for other eligible institutions
£200bn for Special liquidity scheme
£250bn under debt guarantee scheme

Total of £450 billion of the tax payers money.

In return are getting no new controls on our banks, no one at the top is being sacked or taking a pay cut and no guarantee of seeing any of the money again.

6 men in Downing street have spent this money without any vote in parliament or any public debate. (Not even the yanks tried that one.)

When Gordon Brown was asked where is the money coming from he said

“We are going to borrow it”

The real question you have to ask is where did all the money go in the first place?

We have been told its due to “bad loans” in the USA. Mr Bush wasn’t content with making us all fight and pay for Americas wars: he’s been asking us all to prop up the US economy for the last 8 years too.

I for one am not fooking happy about any of this.

I’m glad your money is off around the world supporting bad debt ”by others”
Let that be a lesson, Those who are wise are but rarely as wise as those that are wiser than them!

Who are they borrowing it from? Can’t see any BANKS lending out the money.. :lol:

Worse still, what if they went to a Loanshark?!

Harry the git knocking on Number ten once a week to collect the payments. “If you aint got the cash Brown, i’ll bring my heavies”
