Did we just declare war on Iceland the other day?

Or did we just call them a terrorist organisation ????

Very puzzled…

So, Iceland’s banks have collapsed and since their banks is their financial sector, Iceland’s finances have collapsed

So, money from councils in the UK who greedily stuck it in Icelandic banks (rather than the logical option of Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds etc) is now stuck there

So, Gordon Brown has decided to freeze all of Iceland’s assets in the UK using anti-terrorist legislation

So…what’s the value of all the holdings of these greedy councils and police authorities ? A billion quid ? Hmmm, didn’t the government just throw another FIFTY billion at the banks, on top of 40 and 20 previously, and making another 300 billion or so available ?

Presumably then it can rustle up a single billion if it wanted to ? So, why not pay these people itself and get the money back off Iceland in the future when Iceland can afford it ?

Instead, we are pressing a country already in meltdown into even worse trouble, and expecting this won’t have any knock-ons ?

I don’t think any of these people have any brains at all…

I mean this is beyond stupid, who is going to invest or put assets in UK, if they risk this, and using a anti-terror law, that’s so outrageous, that you have to think that UK is some kind of Banana-republic. (Or should that be Banana Kingdom?)
