Absolute bollocks. If you talk the talk, walk the walk.

Both you and Nick have massively gone down in my estimation over the past few days. You are a middle class, John Lennon wannabe and Nick is an aspirational Tory-son. Rebel, boys, rebel.

Both of you need to deal with your middle class guilt and get on who and what you really are.

One life, and socialism isn't about being poor, or what you do, its a bit more complex than that. End of the day, I have to eat, pay rent, bills etc just like everyone else.



"Imagine"

Its easy, if you try.

That said, I'm no fan of the Beatles or Lennon, much more a Kinks man.

Stop blaming Thatcher for having to deal with reality.

You seem to think that we should borrow from the market to keep people in jobs or tax everyone higher to keep them there.

That's a failed economy right there.


It's strange that current consensus is to reign in spending to get the economy on track and going again, yet to get the banks going, government needs to invest...


erm....do we really need to explain that one to you Nick?

Well Iceland let their banks go under and invested in infrastructure. They're doing rather well.


Almost all the money invested in icelandic banks was from non-nationals. In terms of growth, they have turned the corner but their recipe was to slash public spending, borrow enormously (from Norway) and take no responsibility for the bank debts to foreigners. If thats your solution, then fair play but seems pretty brutal for a socialist.

Indiviual banks can, and have, gone to the wall in the UK too, but if you let the entire banking sector go to the wall, that is economic suicide.

But it would be letting the market run it's course. It's what Maggie would have wanted.
When are the banks going to pay us back? Would help with the deficit.
As an aside, I found out that the UK owes the bank of England around £345bn. Why don't we just wipe that debt off?

I think you cracked it. And while they're at it, the BoE could print another 345 billion, give us each 5 million or so, and we'd all be millionaires. Problem solved!

Actually that's not a bad idea. Rather than bailing the banks out, give everyone in the UK a grand on the proviso they spend it in the shops within a month, that'll jig the economy along a bit.

Not all Tories agreed with saving the banks, many didn't.

They would have been wrong. The reality is that the banks had to be propped up, or the country really would have gone down the toilet, as the industry would have collapsed like dominos, taking other related industries and peoples savings etc with it.

What didn't need to happen is the kowtowing to the Bankers that followed, the government should have stood firm.



As opposed to what?

A short death or a long drawn out one. Hayek, who Thatcher followed would have been shocked by this huge Keynesian experiment....All to maintain the status quo...A status quo that was rotten to the core.

The destruction would have been temporary also there were other alternatives to just using borrowed cash to keep afloat failed businesses....Untried methods that weren't going to be risked...Instead we everyone trotted out Keynes and saved the very criminals who caused the disaster....With their giant bonuses.

I liked Sal Khan's alternative of investing in new banks.....There was no pain free alternative but I don't believe that the solutions chosen were the best ones.

Interestingly a much over looked fact in the 1980 ecconomic recovery is that Thatcher raised taxation. I had completely forgotten about that.
