So, here we are at war in Afghan with a UK Military that's on it's knees, we are facing serious capability gaps (hmm, think Maritime recce etc); Defence budget of £35ish Bn per annum and just how much did we bail out those greedy risk taking tossers in the city for??? £800Bn odd??
Why the UK populous has idly sat by and let Bn's of our money be given back to banks for them to carry on as normal is beyond me??
Why did the markets rally this year? QE provided by the BoE pumped £200Bn odd of 'free' money into the economy. That money has been greedily swallowed up by the banks and pumped into the stock market. All the bankers annual bonus payments are directly linked to the performance of the indices (FTSE etc) so they had a vested interest to pump money into that vehicle knowing they'd receive a slice of the performance in their own bonus payments come the year's end???
Surely this is a massive 'insider-deal' for personal gain on the part of these idiots all subsidized by the tax payer??
So, while they all buy their new Aston's and Cotswold houses in the next few months I hope they spare a thought for the very people that are defending their freedom in far away lands who give them THEIR freedom for them to rob us blind and ensure we live in poverty for generations.
Cheers (not!)
