Bradford and Bingley - more public debt - that's just effing great.


I don't remember being asked if I wanted to buy Braford and Bingley. £50bn - God I hate this government. This is going to be the another case of the profitable parts of B&B being picked off by other banks, and the poor old tax payer owning the rotting carcass.

Yup, neither was I asked about this, or about Northern Crock for that matter.

I have this sneaking feeling that this has been planned all along -- not B&B specifically, but the Great Leader must have known what was coming and that, if he regulated this and that, and tweaked other things, he could be reasonably sure of the downfall of at least a couple of banks, ripe for nationalisation.

Just like the bad old days, from decades ago, all over again...

If that is their plan then they are nationalising the wrong things.

I see you're mad at what's happening and I understand. Who wouldn't be when we will be left holding the bag? I say if we are to pay for the mistakes and greed of some people, then at least give us a part of the equity and make us share in the good life these people are living on the back of the taxpayers and share holders..

Did the Tories ask me if it was ok to for carpetbaggers to cash in on years of thrift, by allowing Building Societies to de-mutualise
