sccsux Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 So you think that the PM and the Chancellor of the Exchequer aren't responsible for the finacial well being of the country? How do you come to the conclusion that it was Blair/Brown that caused the world wide market crash? I think you're giving way too much credibility to the two stooges.

chem1st Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 These bankers have managed to change the game so that they can vote with money. They have deprived the common man of his right to vote. Their days are numbered. Some of them should be publicly executed to set an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Not since Thatcher freed the banks to pursue greed. Newsflash: Thatcher's been out of office for over 20 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are NOT responsible for individual companies selling dodgy mortgages!!! Derugulation of the financial services started with Big Bang in 1985. Do you think the Cons would have had stronger regulation??? -I don't! They are still dragging their feet now after all that has happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're giving way too much credibility to the two stooges. I'm not blaming them, or Brown specifically for the crash, I'm blaming him for how the country was ill-prepared to manage any future downturn. I also blame him for building our economic growth on cheap credit, and for not diversifying our economy and making it too reliant upon the financial sector.

Yes, can you imagine how much WORSE it would have been if the Cons had been in? If it hadn't been for the action Brown took with the stimulus package it would have been much worse. But now the Cons are in they seem to be taking us in a race to the bottom anyway now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
