?6BILLION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fuck me. How can that be right? Who could survive on that, and that's not taking into account it has to be split into several thousand pieces. If I were a Banker, I would seriously consider my position.
Even Osbourne has caved in, and CMD, has thrown his hands up and admitted defeat.


Call yourself a man Cameron? these lads are on the breadline, they have Maserati's and Lambos to run, let alone other pursuits (have you any idea how much it cost to maintain several racehorses, and a private jet these days.
Get Nu-Labour back in and sharpish, lets put the pride back into real greed and hypocrisy.

If the bankers had an ounce of social conscience and decency, they'd look at that figure of 6 billion and say "okay - no bonuses at all for anyone in the banks this year, that 6 billion can go to the Treasury instead to help pay off the deficit and to make partial amends for the way our greed and avarice got us all into this mess in the first place".

But of course given that they're a cabal of selfish, greedy, crooked bastards, it ain't gonna happen.

The worse thing is, if you study the stock market and follow how it works, you have to be A FUCKING MORON NOT TO MAKE MONEY!

It's a casino where the dice are weighted IN YOUR FAVOUR!

That's why the City is populated by moronic, "Nice But Dims!" Some time ago, I played a fantasy stock game with real stock prices over a couple of days and I've "Made" $50,000 in 3 months, just with my own cunning plan. I started with $100,000 fantasy money. These City bastards are playing with many ?Millions of real money every day.

It's so easy to make money, that I'm too chicken shit scared to do it for real, because I'm sure I'll loose the lot! lol

That's the difference between me and a City, "Nice But Dim", they've been TOLD at public school that they have a divine right to work in the City and make a fortune. I was taught that I have a divine right to sweep the streets!

Maybe soon I'll give it a go, problem is I don't think I'm STUPID enough to be a success!

I saw on TV tonight that just the interest on the National Debt is ?120m a day. That is ?5m per hour, every hour of the 24 hour day, 365 days a year! Wow! We don't have the money to pay for a lot of things now, hence the massive cuts taking place. Imagine if we didn't have the money to pay that. It doesn't bare thinking about...

Is the deficit high? Yes it is? Why is it high? We had to bailout the banks to the tune of ?800 billion and underwrite various toxic assets that the banks owned but could not really place a value on. That was part of a global recession which resulted in a huge slump in tax take.

However, I wouldn't get carried away by Cameron and Osborne's spiel about - we were on the point of collapse in May We were another Greece in the making etc etc. We must introduce these ?6 billion cuts in the first year or otherwise we will have the International Monetary Fund knocking at the door etc. etc. bloody etc.

What did Osborne do in November last year? Announce a ?9 billion bailout to help Ireland, the country he had been keen to learn from in terms of growing the British economy in the long term in 2006.

Go figure.

...and hoodies have a divine right to jack that toff for his maserati and rob his ass if he is seen driving through the hood flashing that cash.

You may see that as a very ignorant comment but look at it another way, those thugs will see it as easy come easy go.

Its a jungle out there man!

Wrong. Some do disagree.
