As Chris says, the rescue is more to keep the banking sector functioning, rather than bolster share prices. The picture I now get is that all sectors are suffering and the drop in commodities indicate a sharp fall in demand. pile on the 20 grand the government has committed for every uk taxpayer just to oil the banking sector. Some say we will get this money back, doubtful in my lifetime and that of many others. In the interim up goes my tax.
Tomorrow I shall cheer my self up and send a fax to tesco detailing the new egg prices. If they dont pay, Morrisons will.
