brianthedog Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 An emtpy threat. As surely as blood-sucking parasites cling to their hosts while slowly killing it off, the Greedy bankers will NEVER leave the UK Why, we'll just tell them to tax the Greedy bankers and tax-dodging companies You've not said what would happen if banks did leave though. You may not think it will happen, but it would be sensible to assume it may... I do love threads in which greedy bankers are mentioned. True to form, there's always some random capitalisation in there. Then what followers is generally a diatribe which says nothing other than the authors complete and utter ignorance about the role banks play in society. I can see this one's shaping up nicely already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on then, tell us, because us simple Sheffield folk obviously don't have a clue I do love threads in which greedy bankers are mentioned.

Expat owl Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 11 comments in and not a word about parents having children they can't afford. Is everybody really that pre-occupied with Banks that we turn threads like this into 'Banks get everything they deserve' threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthedog Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Go on then, tell us, because us simple Sheffield folk obviously don't have a clue I asked you this question... I do think this would happen, so don't support this idea. It's utterly ridiculous. Labour would be back to borrowing to cover the day to day costs within months. What do you think would happen?

Mister M Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 On a related front I see that Mr Milliband wants children into schools between 8am and 6pm - breakfast till past tea time, because this will help working parents, help business or help parents get into paid employment. I'm sure it would be beneficial to businesses and parents that need the extra money - but what about the children's needs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I think that people should be sterilised at birth and only unsterilised if you can afford to raise children without recourse to public funds. If you suddenty lose your job, then your children will be immediately removed into the care of Social Services" There. Is that what you want? For somebody to agree with your completely stupid idea?

geared Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Thing is it's easy enough to afford them if you sit on your arse all day claiming benefits. but if you want to actually work and contribute to society it's a big cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're the idiot that came up with the above idea. Nothing to do with anything I posted so why not wind your neck in and visit some other thread !!

Jason Bourne Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I asked you this question... I do think this would happen, so don't support this idea. It's utterly ridiculous. Labour would be back to borrowing to cover the day to day costs within months. What do you think would happen? If ALL the Greedy bankers went overeas and closed ALL their branches here, then: (1) they'd still lend us money, so we won't be missing out on that. (2) They would still would little to no tax as they do anyway, so we won't be missing out on much. On the other hand, if MOST Greedy bankers went overseas and MOST branches closed, then the remaining banks who chose to stay in the UK would be more likely to get all our remaining business and money. So please, tell us simple Sheffielders where we are going wrong. Please tell us what YOU think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Is it even possible to safely sterilise someone and then reverse that procedure with 100% success rate and without and complications???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
