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. Edited by matt_himself (10 Apr 2013 9.51pm) 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.
Its easy, if you try. That said, I'm no fan of the Beatles or Lennon, much more a Kinks man.

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

Edited by SloveniaDave (10 Apr 2013 11.18pm) 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.

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...
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.
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.

It's the third day. Murdoch enterprises are waiting anxiously to see if they can run with their prepared 'She has risen - Margaret Backatcher' headline.

2 publications are running with the same headline. Womens Own is publishing memoirs of Maggie's hairdresser. Playboy are still consulting lawyers

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