50 thousand million pounds?
Where is that money coming from? No I know it came from you but I mean does anyone know where its been all this time. I can imagine the bank who gets a withdrawl from the government is gonna be a bit miffed at paying that out especially if they are still having to fork out to all those customers they defrauded for illegal bank charges. Bugger me thats a lot of money eh.
I mean imagine what you could buy with that. Why you could take all those 5 milion poor people who have just been screwed by Gordon Browns tax changes and say give em all £1,000 each or is it 5,000 i get my zero's mixed up.
You could even buy two extra royal families or another european parliment.
But in the meantime there is 50,000,000,000 extra pounds in the economy but how can that be? how come it doesnt devalue our currency? Who knows because I don't.
The truth is I dont even think it comes out of a bank really, it just kind of gets printed or is a bit like an I.O.U.
But remember this is not about supporting the greedy, illegal, thieving institutions who have earned much more in recent years than 50 billion in profits from you. No this is about supporting the economy and growth.
Whats the UK population at the moment 60 million? I am off to the bank to check my balance.

Free and confidential vote this week
Its election time again and as we expect from this great nation of ours we have the right to a free democratic vote which is our decision and ours alone. After carefully concidering the arguments we place our cross against one of the two maybe three candidates who stand any chance of winning.
We can stand by our decision and its our own private business?
Or is it?
When you go and vote you might like to check out the system. Your electoral card with your name and address etc will be checked against the electoral/credit register. Thats a list of people who have enough money to pay the poll tax but never mind we have had all those arguments.
When that has happened pay attention to what happens next. You are given a numbered voting slip and the number is entered next to your name on the list. Then you go and vote.
Now if I was to go and take your slip out of the polling box and check the number then I can easily find out how you voted.
How is that a confidential vote?
Surely the slip should just be deemed authentic? How come the way we all vote is registered?

Take that to the bank
Ok so things are gonna be tough for the rest of the year. Maybe just two holidays this year or cut back on the mileage, maybe one less business lunch. Buy that long awaited million pound house once the market has stabilised. We can ride it out eh.
That's all well and good and a few quid here and there makes not much of a jot. After all we all reaped whilst the sun shone etc.
All well and good that is unless you are one of the people who actually, physically creates all the wealth in the first place. Just for sake of argument lets call them the low paid. They have no where to go, not very easy to maneuver when you are already rammed against the wall with your arm up your back. If you are one of those who is forced to walk to work so you can buy a packet of heavily taxed fags or maybe take a sweaty sandwich rather than dine in the canteen to save a few shilling. A few quid really hits hard, really hard.
But have no fear help is at hand. Gordon Brown who has managed to take the credit for a natural world wide economic boom over the last ten years will save us all. He has had meetings about how to help boost the housing market. The very same housing market that is NOT included in any inflation figures quoted. (wondered why it felt more like 3%?) The Bank of England will put £15bn more into the banking system. Presumably to help the economy by increasing overtime at the mint? The move is an effort to improve liquidity in the financial markets.
It has now injected more than £50bn since the start of the credit crisis, which was sparked by massive losses for banks who lent in the US sub-prime sector. Yes that's what we said lent, with interest. Banks are actually in it to make money you see and they have been pretty good at it until now. Now its tough they need bailing out with taxpayers money yet again. 50,000 million pounds of your money to bail out the guys whose greed has caused the problem in the first place. No one mentionng how hard it must be paying back all those fraudulant bank charges they hit you with either, never mind throw it in the pot.
The bank of England will cut interest rates to the banks by lending them your money as long as they promise to pass that on to the lenders they are already making money from so that we can borrow some more and they can then make some more money so they can pay it back to the government who can pay it back to you. Simple!
Meanwhile lets go and get the butties made and off to bed, I have get up an hour early so I can walk to work tomorow. Anyone got a light?
