The end of capitalism? Our Governments privatise the profitable businessesand nationalise the debts, that'll do nicely sir. Joe public loses his house and job, these bankers get bailed out by the taxpayer and get to keep their inflated bonuses earnt betting on worthless "mystery" parcels. Genius.
And Gordon Brown sucked up to these Bankers </p> Pol Pott has more chance of getting back in than Brown</p>
I Can't see what the Conservatives would have done differently Free market economy and all that. We are (UK) apparently the most at risk country in the Western economy. The public owe 300% of GDP and the banks 300% of GDP. I'm going to keep the car filled up, a few hundred quid in cash and do a spot of panic buying. It's that scary.
